More from Dillow - the joys of econometrics

Citing an NBER paper:
A one percentage point reduction in unemployment is predicted to raise acute myocardial infarction (AMI) mortality by 1.3 percent, with a larger increase in relative risk for 20-44 year olds than older adults, particularly if the economic upturn is sustained.
Well, if that were are only concern we could return to prehistory and feel good about it. Or move to France.
