Abstract
<p class="first" id="d106375e83">Mortality rates generally decline during economic
recessions in high-income countries,
however gaps remain in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms. This study
estimates the impacts of increases in unemployment rates on both all-cause and cause-specific
mortality across U.S. metropolitan regions during the Great Recession.
