DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Theory is important in guiding research to penetrate the bewildering surface of myriad age, sex, time and population-specific statistics about mortality at older ages. The goal of the proposed research is to advance theory and thereby empirical knowledge of mortality comparisons by using data from the "natural experiment" of East-West German unification and the resulting rapid convergence of E. German death rates to W. German levels to quantify the relative causal importance of two factors suggested by theory: "prosperity" vs. "healthcare".

描述（由申请人提供）：理论对于指导研究以渗透到有关老年死亡率的无数年龄，性别，时间和人口特定统计数据的困惑表面。拟议的研究的目的是通过使用来自东西方统一的“自然实验”的数据来提高理论，从而提高死亡率比较的经验知识，以及E. e. e. e。德语死亡率与W.德国水平的快速收敛，以量化理论所暗示的两个因素的相对因果关系：“繁荣”：“繁荣” vs. vs.'vs.“ vs.”医疗保健。
