Fig. D.1.

Age adjusted- and crude death rates for the overall population. Notes: Data source: The World Bank. We regress the crude death rates on the age adjusted death rates and obtain the following OLS coefficients: the constant coefficient is ${\widehat{\beta }}_0=651.9$ and the slope coefficient is ${\widehat{\beta }}_1=0.2255$. We plot the fitted crude death rates based on the age adjusted death rates in red line.
