In this investigation it is shown that economic growth is positively associated with health progress in Sweden throughout the 19th century. However, the relation becomes weaker as time passes and is completely reversed in the second half of the 20th century, when economic growth negatively affects health progress. The effect of the economy on health occurs mostly at lag zero in the 19th century and is lagged up to two years in the 20th. No evidence is found for economic effects on mortality at greater lags. These findings are shown to be robustly consistent across a variety of statistical procedures, including linear regression, spectral analysis, cross-correlation, and lag regression models. Models using inflation and unemployment as economic indicators reveal similar results. Evidence for reverse effects of health progress on economic growth is weak, and unobservable in the second half of the 20th century. http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/56219 Title: Economía y mortalidad en las ciencias sociales (I) <br/> <br/>Authors: Tapia Granados, José A. <br/> <br/>Abstract: This paper discusses the historical development from the Renaissance to the 20th century of general ideas about the influence of the economy on mortality. To a large extent, this corresponds to the Malthusian controversies, speculative until the start of the 20th century, when statistics showing the diminishing mortality rates in many countries opened up the discussion of diverse theories on the demographic transition. The article presents successively the contributions of the founders of occupational medicine, the political arithmetic of Petty, the ideas of Malthus on growth of the population and mortality, the demographic and epidemiologic contributions of Engels and Marx, the social medicine movement and the founders of public health at the end of the 19th century, and the modern controversies on the demographic transition centered on McKeown's contributions. The 20th-century controversies on the short-term effect of economic fluctuations on mortality rates are excluded from the paper. http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/50632 Title: Increasing mortality during the expansions of the US economy, 1900-1996 <br/> <br/>Authors: Tapia Granados, José A. <br/> <br/>Description: NOTE: "Economía y mortalidad en las ciencias sociales," formerly available as part of this item, is now at http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/56219
