Health, Inequality, and Economic Development
探讨了健康与不平等之间的机制，回顾了收入不平等对总体和个体死亡率影响的证据，认为两者无直接关联，相关性源于其他因素，收入再分配能否改善人口健康仍是开放问题。
I discuss mechanisms linking health and inequality and review evidence for effects of income inequality on aggregate and individual mortality, over time and over space. I conclude that there is no direct link. Correlations come from factors other than income inequality itself, some of which are linked to broader notions of inequality and inequity that are most likely important for health. Whether income redistribution can improve population health does not depend on the existence of a direct link between income inequality and health and remains an open question.
