TL;DR: recessions don’t drive secular trends in mortality, but variation in local labor markets matters - especially as a risk for suicide among men. DSA have distinct etiologies, upstream drivers & policy solns. Many thanks to @IRLEUCB @UCBerkeleySPH @argphi @StanfordEpiNews

Great refresher on the framework underpinning most (if not all) of the empirical work on the determinants of health from a health production perspective. @JohnMullahy, as a "recently minted" scholar often tempted to estimate the hybrid function, consider this researcher reminded!
