最近的研究表明,富裕国家的死亡率存在顺周期关系,但有理由预期发展中国家存在反周期关系。我们调查了哥伦比亚儿童生存如何应对世界阿拉比卡咖啡价格波动的影响,并记录了明显的顺周期性儿童死亡情况。在研究这一结果的行为基础时,我们强调:(1)儿童健康的主要决定因素成本低廉,但需要大量时间;(2)随着时间价值随着咖啡价格下跌而下降,健康的相对价格也会下降。我们发现各种直接证据表明时间在儿童健康生产中至关重要。
Recent studies demonstrate procyclical mortality in wealthy countries, but there are reasons to expect a countercyclical relationship in developing nations. We investigate how child survival in Colombia responds to fluctuations in world Arabica coffee prices – and document starkly procyclical child deaths. In studying this result’s behavioral underpinnings, we highlight that: (1) The leading determinants of child health are inexpensive but require considerable time, and (2) As the value of time declines with falling coffee prices, so does the relative price of health. We find a variety of direct evidence consistent with the primacy of time in child health production.
