Conditions early … features can only affect high-age mortality by way of the individual early-life conditions. Moreover, they are exogenous from … negative causal effect of economic conditions early in life on individual mortality rates at higher ages. If the national …

This paper analyzes the effects of macro-economic conditions throughout life on the individual mortality rate. We … estimate flexible duration models where the individual's mortality rate depends on current conditions, conditions earlier in … health indicators. The results indicate a strong effect of macro-economic conditions during childhood on mortality at all …

We use individual records of Swedish birth cohorts from 1915 … (across the full range) and CV mortality rate later in life is significantly stronger if the individual is born in a recession …

Empirical analyses of twin mortality often use models with dependent unobserved frailty terms capturing genetic and … childhood environmental determinants. This ignores that mortality rates can be co-dependent due to bereavement effects, i.e. to … a time-dependent causal effect of the loss of the co-twin on the mortality rate of the surviving twin. We develop a …
