最低工资和 EITC 是否可以缓解不断上升的“绝望死亡”?我们利用这些政策随时间的变化来估计事件研究和因药物过量、自杀和酒精相关原因导致的死亡的双重差分模型。我们的因果模型发现药物或酒精相关的死亡率没有显着影响,但确实发现非药物自杀显着减少。最低工资提高 10% 可使低教育程度成年人的非药物自杀率降低 2.7%;可比较的 EITC 数字为 3.0%。安慰剂测试和事件研究模型支持我们的因果研究设计。将这两项政策提高 10% 每年可能会总共减少 700 多起自杀事件。
Do minimum wages and the EITC mitigate rising “deaths of despair?” We leverage state variation in these policies over time to estimate event study and difference-in-differences models of deaths due to drug overdose, suicide, and alcohol-related causes. Our causal models find no significant effects on drug or alcohol-related mortality, but do find significant reductions in non-drug suicides. A 10 percent minimum wage increase reduces non-drug suicides among low-educated adults by 2.7 percent; the comparable EITC figure is 3.0 percent. Placebo tests and event-study models support our causal research design. Increasing both policies by 10 percent would likely prevent a combined total of more than 700 suicides each year.
