Psychological Science, 2015
Discrimination based on weight is a stressful social experience linked to declines in physical and mental health. We examined whether this harmful association extends to risk of mortality. Participants in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS; N = 13,692) and the Midlife in the United States Study (MIDUS; N = 5,079) reported on perceived discriminatory ...

Regional and county flows of particulate matter damage in the US

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Despite several decades of declining emissions, the health costs of particulate matter (PM _2.5 ) in the US remain substantial, with more than $1 trillion in annual damages. We analyze the inter-county impacts of PM _2.5 for 2008, 2011, and 2014 and find

Mortality Risks and Child Labor [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2005
In this paper, we investigate the role of young adult mortality on child labor and educational decisions. We show that, in the absence of appropriate insurance mechanisms, the level of child labor is inefficient. It may be too high if parents are not very altruistic and anticipate positive transfers from their children in the future, but it can also be

Longevity Risk Management and the Development of a Value-Based Longevity Index

Risks, 2018
The design and development of post-retirement income products require the assessment of longevity risk, as well as a basis for hedging these risks. Most indices for longevity risk are age-period based. We develop and assess a cohort-based value index for
