摘要

摘要本文研究了子宫内和生命早期经济状况对死亡率的长期影响。我们研究了大萧条期间当地的经济状况（以子宫内和生命最初几年的县级银行存款为代表）如何影响老年人的寿命。我们发现，人均银行存款每增加一个标准差，男性的老年寿命就会增加约 1.7 个月。通过对州级与县级经济指标的比较分析，我们深入了解了在探讨早年生活条件与晚年死亡率之间的关系时，控制地方层面的混杂因素和利用更精细的指标的重要性。

Early-life economic conditions and old-age male mortality: evidence from historical county-level bank deposit data

Abstract

This paper studies the long-run mortality effects of in utero and early-life economic conditions. We examine how local economic conditions experienced during the Great Depression, proxied by county-level banking deposits during in utero and first years of life, influences old-age longevity. We find that a one-standard-deviation rise in per capita bank deposits is associated with an approximately 1.7 month increase in males’ longevity at old age. Additional analyses comparing state-level versus county-level economic measures provide insight on the importance of controlling for local-level confounders and exploiting more granular measures when exploring the relationship between early-life conditions and later-life mortality.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Population Economics is an international quarterly that publishes original theoretical and applied research in all areas of population economics. Micro-level topics examine individual, household or family behavior, including household formation, marriage, divorce, fertility choices, education, labor supply, migration, health, risky behavior and aging. Macro-level investigations may address such issues as economic growth with exogenous or endogenous population evolution, population policy, savings and pensions, social security, housing, and health care. The journal also features research into economic approaches to human biology, the relationship between population dynamics and public choice, and the impact of population on the distribution of income and wealth. Lastly, readers will find papers dealing with policy issues and development problems that are relevant to population issues.The journal is published in collaboration with POP at UNU-MERIT, the Global Labor Organization (GLO) and the European Society for Population Economics (ESPE).Officially cited as: J Popul Econ Factor (RePEc): 13.576 (July 2018) Rank 69 of 2102 journals listed in RePEc
