Notes: All regressions include time and state fixed effects. The period of analysis is 2008–2009. Mean (Y¯) denotes the mean of the dependent variable for each specification.

a

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.

b

H1N1 is equal to the number of H1N1 cases in a given state in 2009 and zero in 2008.

c

The p-value denotes the p-value of wild bootstrapped standard errors for each specification to correct for small number (32) of clusters.

d

For Panel B the outcome is number of diarrhea cases (morbidity) for all males and females in respective age group.
