Notes: Dependent variable is age-adjusted log death rate for the location and gender indicated. Parameters are the estimated mortality semi-elasticity with respect to the state-year unemployment rate, with coefficients multiplied by 100. Each cell is a separate regression. The first three columns include the years 1979-2006, and the second three columns include only the years 1979-2002. Controls include state and year fixed effects, state-specific trends, demographic and education controls. Standard errors clustered at the state level. Estimates weighted by state-year population of relevant age group.
