Results are obtained estimating an OLS regression on the mortality rate with month-year and province-month FE, an interaction with the three SES groups and adding the control variables used in Eq. (1) for individuals aged above 65. Constant present but not reported. Control variables are precipitation, solar radiation, wind speed, relative humidity, GDP per capita, PM2.5, gender, SES and population density Standard errors clustered at the provincial level. Significance levels: ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05
