Accounting for the Widening Mortality Gap Between Adult Americans with and without a BA

Case, Anne; Deaton, Angus - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We examine mortality differences between Americans with and without a four-year college degree over the period 1992 to 2021. From 1992 to 2010, both groups saw falling mortality, but with greater improvements for the more educated; from 2010 to 2019, mortality fell for those with a BA and rose for...

COVID-19 and Global Income Inequality

Deaton, Angus - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

There is a widespread belief that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased global income inequality, reducing per capita incomes by more in poor countries than in rich. This supposition is reasonable but false. Rich countries have experienced more deaths per head than have poor countries; their...

The Great Divide : Education, Despair and Death

Case, Anne; Deaton, Angus - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

Deaths of despair, morbidity and emotional distress continue to rise in the US. The increases are largely borne by those without a four-year college degree--the majority of American adults. For many less-educated Americans, the economy and society are no longer providing the basis for a good...

Mortality, Inequality and Race in American Cities and States

Deaton, Angus; Lubotsky, Darren - 2022

A number of studies have found that mortality rates are positively correlated with income inequality across the cities and states of the US. We argue that this correlation is confounded by the effects of racial composition. Across states and MSAs, the fraction of the population that is black is...

On the Behavior of Commodity Prices

Broken Down by Work and Sex : How Our Health Declines

Case, Anne; Deaton, Angus - 2021

Self-reported health status (SRHS) is an imperfect measure of non-fatal health, but allows examination of how health status varies over the life course. Although women have lower mortality than men, they report worse health status up to age 65. The SRHS of both men and women deteriorates with...

Intertemporal Choice and Inequality

Deaton, Angus; Paxon, Christina - 2021

We show that standard models of intertemporal choice, including the permanent income hypothesis, imply that for any given cohort of people born at the same time, inequality in both consumption and income will grow with age. At any given date, each individual's consumption depends on the integral...

Mortality, Income, and Income Inequality Over Time in Britain and the United States

We investigate age-specific mortality in Britain and the United States since 1950. Neither trends in income nor in income inequality provide plausible explanations. Britain and the US had different patterns of income growth but similar patterns of mortality decline. Patterns of income inequality...

Inequalities in Income and Inequalities in Health

Measuring Poverty Among the Elderly

Mortality, Education, Income, and Inequality Among American Cohorts

Deaton, Angus; Paxson, Christina H. - 2021

People whose family income was less than $5,000 in 1980 could expect to live about 25 percent fewer years than people whose family income was greater than $50,000. We explore this finding using both individual data and a panel of aggregate birth cohorts observed from 1975 to 1995. We assume that...

This paper examines the consequences of social security reform for the inequality of consumption across individuals. The idea is that inequality is at least in part the result of individual risk in earnings or asset returns, the effects of which accumulate over time to increase inequality within...

Parametric and Non-Parametric Approaches to Price and Tax Reform
