Notes: In this table, we highlight estimates of the effects of resource development on opioid overdose rates across different populations. In Panel A, the outcome variable is the non-drug mortality rate (per 100,000 people). In Panel B, the outcome variable is the opioid overdose rate (per 100,000 people) with corrections used based on models discussed in Boslett, Denham, and Hill (2019) for the given population sub-group of interest. All models include county fixed effects, state-by-year fixed effects, and interactions between a year vector and the initial mortality rate in 2000 to control for pre-coal bust and pre-shale boom differences in mortality rates. Statistical significance: 1% level, ***; 5% level, **; and 10% level, *.
