摘要

目标:拉丁美洲和加勒比国家共同体(CELAC，西班牙语首字母缩写)国家是受COVID-19影响最严重的国家之一。本文分析了在33个拉共体国家中，人口密度以及其他经济变量(如按购买力平价计算的国内生产总值(GDP)或人类发展指数(HDI))是否与冠状病毒死亡率显著相关。方法:采用相关分析和普通最小二乘回归模型分析不同变量对COVID-19死亡率的影响。结果:结果表明，每平方公里居民人数较多的国家死亡率较低。国内生产总值与死亡人数无关，而人类发展指数对死亡人数有积极影响。结论:人口密度高的国家不会更容易受到COVID-19的影响，因为人口密度有利于经济发展和更好地设计制度。

Effect of Population Density and Economic Indicators on COVID-19 Death Rates in the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States.

Objective: The countries of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC, by its initials in Spanish) have been some of the most affected by COVID-19. This paper analyzes whether, in the 33 CELAC countries, population density, together with other economic variables, such as gross domestic product (GDP) at purchasing power parity (PPP) values or the Human Development Index (HDI), were significantly associated with the coronavirus mortality rate.

Methods: A correlation analysis and an ordinary least squares regression model were used to analyze the effects of different variables on the COVID-19 mortality rate.

Results: The results showed that countries with higher numbers of inhabitants per square kilometer had lower death rates. Gross domestic product was not associated with the number of deaths, while the HDI had a positive impact on that number.

Conclusion: Countries with high population density are not more vulnerable to COVID-19, as population density allows for economic development and better-designed institutions.
