This paper studies how stress affects the mortality risk. Using a flexible approach and allowing for timevarying … treatment effects, I find no impact of stress on the short-run mortality risk but a substantially increase in the long-run. The … substantially lower the mortality risk for women. The results for men point towards lower effectiveness likely due to stigma effects …
