Suicide and business cycles: Finnish evidence

Author

Listed:
  • Matti Viren

Abstract

The relationship between suicide and business cycles is analysed using long Finnish time series for the period 1878-1994. The results clearly show that suicide increases along with age and is related to both GDP growth (inversely), bankruptcies and unemployment.
