Abstract

Európa keleti és nyugatit részén a munkaképes korú népesség halálozási rátái még napjainkban is lényeges különbségeket mutatnak. E cikkben 45 ország 2011. évi halálozási rátáit vizsgáljuk, és keresztmetszeti regressziós elemzéssel számszerűsítjük az országok közötti eltérések okait. Magyarázó függvényeink újdonságát egyrészt a minta széles terjedelme és vegyes összetétele, másrészt a magyarázó változók újszerű kombinációja adja. Ez utóbbiak: a földrajzi elhelyezkedés, a rejtett gazdaság nagysága, az alkohol- és dohánytermékek relatív árai, az égetettszesz-fogyasztás és a légszennyezettség indikátora. Eredményeink szerint a munkaképes korú férfiak halálozási rátáinak különbözőségét legnagyobb súllyal a gazdaságok fejlettségében és az egészségügyi kiadásokban meglévő különbségek magyarázzák. E tényezőket követi az égetettszesz-fogyasztás és a szélességi fokokkal jellemzett földrajzi elhelyezkedés. A többi magyarázó tényező (légszennyezettség, az alkohol- és dohánytermékek relatív árai, a képzettség) bár szignifikáns, de sokkal kisebb súlyú a magyarázatban. A nők esetében nincs szignifikáns hatása sem az égetett szesz fogyasztásának, sem a képzettségnek, sem pedig az alkohol- és dohánytermékek relatív árainak. A többi magyarázó tényező (egy főre jutó GDP, az egészségügyi kiadások, a földrajzi elhelyezkedés, a légszennyezettség) hasonló hatást fejt ki mindkét nem halálozási rátájára.* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: I12, I15, O57, P51.
