We investigate age-specific mortality in Britain and the United States since 1950. Neither trends in income nor in … patterns of mortality decline. Patterns of income inequality were similar in both countries, but adult and elderly mortality … rates declined most rapidly during the period when inequality increased.

I present a model of mortality and income that integrates the 'gradient,' the negative relationship between income and … mortality, with the Wilkinson hypothesis, that income inequality poses a risk to health. Individual health is negatively … reference groups, which may be as large as whole populations, mortality declines with income, but at a decreasing rate; the …

We exploit differences in the mortality rates faced by European colonialists to estimate the effect of institutions on … could settle in the colony. In places where Europeans faced high mortality rates, they could not settle and they were more … supporting these hypotheses. Exploiting differences in mortality rates faced by soldiers, bishops and sailors in the colonies in …

cyclical increases in income may raise mortality, even when the long-run effects of income are in the opposite direction. There … is no evidence that recent increases in inequality raised mortality beyond what it would otherwise have been …

This paper develops the first globally comprehensive and empirically grounded estimates of mortality risk due to future … temperature increases caused by climate change. Using 40 countries' subnational data, we estimate age-specific mortality … adaptation.
