Inequality, poverty, deprivation and the uneven spread of COVID-19 in Europe
研究了欧洲地区贫困、财富和人际不平等如何影响COVID-19超额死亡率，发现前18个月不平等和贫困与疾病致死率无关，而富人聚集区超额死亡率更高。
COVID-19 is mostly considered to have ravaged places with high levels of inequality and poverty. Yet, in the case of Europe, the evidence for this is limited. In this paper we address this gap in our knowledge by exploring how regional variations in poverty, wealth and interpersonal inequality have shaped COVID-19-related excess mortality. The results show that during the first 18 months of the pandemic there is no link between inequality and poverty, on the one hand, and the lethality of the disease, on the other. The geographical concentration of wealthy people is related to more, not less, excess mortality.
