Julie A. Phillips
Demography (2013) 50 (2): 591–614.

Published: 30 November 2012
... suicide rates and suicide by firearms and other means. Unlike past research that typically considers only one dimension, this analysis differentiates between spatial and temporal variation in suicide rates to determine whether and how social correlates operate differently in these two contexts.

Fred C. Pampel
Demography (1996) 33 (3): 341–355.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.2307/2061766
Published: 01 August 1996
...Fred C. Pampel Abstract Trends in age-specific suicide rates relate to debates about the consequences of population aging and changes in cohort size for social well-being. Easterlin argues that large cohort size increases suicide rates by reducing relative income; Preston claims that suicide rates...

Socioeconomic ramifications of changing cohort size: an analysis of U.S. postwar suicide rates by age and sex

Trends in U.S. suicide rates, by U.S. state, 1985–2000. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) in each state’s suicide rate was computed for the 1985–2000 period. States with negative and statistically significant AAPC are in dark shading; those with positive and statistically significant AAPC are shown in lighter shading. Unshaded states are those with no significant change in the suicide rate in the 1985–2000 period

Fig. 4 Difference-in-differences estimates for suicide and overdose deaths per 100,000, ages 10–17. 95% confidence intervals were adjusted for clustering at the state level. The 2009 estimate is normalized to zero. The estimated specification included state × race × age × sex fixed effects and year × race × age × sex × census region fixed effects and was weighted by population size. Specification also included controls for fraction of the population that is White, fraction that is Black, the minimum wage, anti-bullying laws, PDMPs, and “mandatory access” PDMPs. The outcome was suicides or overdoses per 100,000 for ages 10–17. Each point estimate represents the coefficient for the year on the pre-reformulation nonmedical OxyContin misuse (%) variable. OxyContin reformulation is indicated by a vertical line in 2010.
