本文利用国家纵向死亡率调查 (NLMS) 的数据，在多变量框架内研究了美国成人死亡率的教育差异。作为第一步，我们比较了美国和欧洲记录的教育死亡率差异的大小。在 35 岁至 54 岁之间，受教育程度每增加一年，美国的死亡率下降比例与欧洲的记录相似。分析进一步揭示了 20 世纪 80 年代初美国男性和女性死亡率的显着教育差异。男性和工作年龄段的差异大于女性和 65 岁及以上人群的差异。这些差异仍然存在，但当引入对收入、婚姻状况和当前居住地的控制后，这些差异的程度就会减小。
The paper examines educational differentials in adult mortality in the United States within a multivariate framework using data from the National Longitudinal Mortality Survey (NLMS). As a preliminary step we compare the magnitude of educational mortality differentials in the United States to those documented in Europe. At ages 35-54, the proportionate reductions in mortality for each one year increase in schooling are similar in the United States to those documented in Europe. The analyses further reveal significant educational differentials in U.S. mortality among both men and women in the early 1980s. Differentials are larger for men and for working ages than for women and persons age 65 and above. These differentials persist but are reduced in magnitude when controls for income, marital status and current place of residence are introduced.
