摘要

我们使用1998年至2017年期间的每日数据研究了温度对墨西哥死亡率的影响，发现墨西哥3.8%的死亡是由次优温度(每年26,000人)造成的。然而，92%与天气有关的死亡是由寒冷(32°C)引起的。此外，在收入分配的后半部分，气温致死的可能性是普通人的两倍。最后，我们展示了因果证据，证明自2004年以来，全民医疗保健政策“全民隔离”每年至少挽救了1,600人的生命。(jel i12, i13, i14, o13, o15, q54)

Mortality, Temperature, and Public Health Provision: Evidence from Mexico

We examine the impact of temperature on mortality in Mexico using daily data over the period 1998–2017 and find that 3.8 percent of deaths in Mexico are caused by suboptimal temperature (26,000 every year). However, 92 percent of weather-related deaths are induced by cold (<12°C) or mildly cold ( 12–20°C) days and only 2 percent by outstandingly hot days (>32°C). Furthermore, temperatures are twice as likely to kill people in the bottom half of the income distribution. Finally, we show causal evidence that the Seguro Popular, a universal health care policy, has saved at least 1,600 lives per year from cold weather since 2004. (JEL I12, I13, I14, O13, O15, Q54)
