Absolute humidity, temperature, and influenza mortality: 30 years of county-level evidence from the United States.
Recent research exploring associations between environmental factors and influenza outcomes has devoted substantial attention to the role of absolute humidity. However, the existing literature provides very little quantitative epidemiologic evidence on the relations between absolute humidity and other weather variables and influenza outcomes in human populations. In the present study, the autho...

متن کاملAbsolute Humidity and the Seasonal Onset of Influenza in the Continental United States
Much of the observed wintertime increase of mortality in temperate regions is attributed to seasonal influenza. A recent reanalysis of laboratory experiments indicates that absolute humidity strongly modulates the airborne survival and transmission of the influenza virus. Here, we extend these findings to the human population level, showing that the onset of increased wintertime influenza-relat...
متن کاملGrowth and Convergence across the United States: Evidence from County-level Data
We use U.S. county data (3,058 observations) and 41 conditioning variables to study growth and convergence. Using ordinary least squares (OLS) and three-stage least squares with instrumental variables (3SLS-IV), we report on the full sample and metro, nonmetro, and and regional samples: (1) OLS yields convergence rates around 2%; 3SLS yields 6%–8%; (2) convergence rates vary (for example, the S...
متن کاملThe Impact of Homeownership on Criminal Activity: Empirical Evidence from United States’ County Level Data
This paper utilizes county-level census data and Uniform Crime Reports for the United States to isolate the impact of homeownership on crime rates. After controlling for other influences, in particular income’s impact on homeownership rates, we find that the homeownership itself has a strong and statistically significant negative effect on both violent and property crime rates. Moreover, we fin...
