A version of this paper has been published in the American Economic Journal<\/span><\/cite><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In this paper the authors examine the impact of temperature on mortality in Mexico using daily data over the period 1998–2017.<\/p>\n

They find that 3.8 per cent of deaths in Mexico are caused by sub-optimal temperature (26,000 every year). Specifically, 92 per cent of weather-related deaths are induced by cold (<12°C) or mildly cold (12–20°C) days and only 2 per cent by outstandingly hot days (>32°C). Furthermore, temperatures are 80 per cent more likely to kill people in the bottom half of the income distribution.<\/p>\n

Finally, the authors show causal evidence that the Seguro Popular<\/em>, a universal healthcare policy, has saved at least 1,600 lives per year from cold weather since 2004.<\/p>\n

An earlier version of this paper was published with the title ‘Mortality inequality, temperature and public health provision: evidence from Mexico’ in May 2017 and a previous update under the current title in October 2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
