Smile or die : can subjective well-being increase survival in the face of substantive health impairments?
Binder, Martin; Bünstorf, Guido - 2016
A robust relationship between subjective well-being and mortality has been established in the literature. While this relationship has been confirmed for many measures and data sets, few studies address how it is affected by concrete diseases. In this paper we assess for the British Household...

The role of marriage in the causal pathway from economic conditions early in life to mortality

Inequality in individual mortality and economic conditions earlier in life
van den Berg, Gerard; Lindeboom, Maarten; Lopéz, Marta - 2007
We analyze the effect of being born in a recession on the mortality rate later in life in conjunction with social class. We use individual data records from Dutch registers of birth, marriage, and death certificates, covering the period 1815-2000, and we merge these with historical data on...
