摘要: We reexamine the recent, well-publicized claim that "rapid mass privatisation [of state-owned enterprises]... was a crucial determinant of differences in adult mortality trends post-communist countries" (Stuckler, King and McKee, 2009). Our analysis shows estimated correlation privatization country-level data is not robust to recomputing mass-privatization measure, assuming short lag for economic policies affect mortality, controlling country-specific trends. Further, an determinants Russian regions, we find no evidence increased during early 1990s. Finally, reanalyze relationship between unemployment postcommunist countries, showing there little support proposed mechanism by which might have mortality.
