Notes: All regressions include time and state fixed effects. The period of analysis is 2008–2009. Mean denotes the mean of the dependent variable for each specification.
The dependent variable is the annual number of hospital discharges where the primary diagnosis was the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes A00-A09X for all males and females in respective age group.
H1N1 is equal to the number of H1N1 cases in a given state in 2009 and zero in 2008.
The p-value denotes the p-value of wild bootstrapped standard errors for each specification to correct for small number (32) of clusters.
For Panel B the outcome is number of diarrhea cases (morbidity) for all males and females in respective age group.
