due to the burning of bituminous coal for heat. We estimate the effects of this bituminous coal consumption on mortality … within-state changes in mortality in non-winter months as an additional control group. Our estimates suggest that reductions … in the use of bituminous coal for heating between 1945 and 1960 decreased winter all-age mortality by 1.25 percent and …

at age 40 to 50. However, we show that among infants, children, and young adults, mortality has been falling more quickly … in poorer areas with the result that inequality in mortality has fallen substantially over time. This is an important … that today's children are likely to face considerably less inequality in mortality as they age than current adults. We also …

This paper uses mortality fan charts to illustrate prospective future male mortality. These fan charts show both the … most likely path of male mortality and the bands of uncertainty surrounding that path. The fan charts are based on a model … of male mortality that is known to provide a good fit to UK mortality data. The fan charts suggest that there are clear …
