Place-Based Drivers of Mortality: Evidence from Migration

Amy Finkelstein et al.

Summary: The study estimates the effect of current location on elderly mortality by analyzing movers in the Medicare population. It finds substantial effects of current location on life expectancy, with moving to places with favorable life expectancy effects increasing life expectancy at age 65. Factors contributing to favorable life expectancy effects include higher quality and quantity of health care, less extreme climates, lower crime rates, and higher socioeconomic status.

Local government funding and life expectancy in England: a longitudinal ecological study

Alexandros Alexiou et al.

Summary: Reductions in funding for local government services in England since 2010 have potentially led to adverse trends in life expectancy and premature mortality, particularly in more deprived areas. The findings suggest that reinvestment in funding for local government services, especially in the most deprived areas, could help address these adverse trends and reduce health inequalities.
