This paper analyzes the interplay between early-life conditions and marital status, as determinants of adult mortality. We use individual data from Dutch registers (years 1815-2000), combined with business cycle conditions in childhood as indicators of early-life conditions. The empirical analysis estimates bivariate duration models of marriage and mortality, allowing for unobserved heterogeneity. Results show that conditions around birth and school going ages are important for marriage and mortality. Men typically enjoy a protective effect of marriage, whereas women suffer during childbearing ages. However, having been born under favorable economic conditions reduces female mortality during childbearing ages.
本文分析了早期生活条件和婚姻状况之间的相互作用，将其作为成人死亡率的决定因素。我们使用来自荷兰登记册（1815 - 2000年）的个人数据，并结合童年时期的经济周期状况作为早期生活条件的指标。实证分析估计了婚姻和死亡率的双变量持续时间模型，同时考虑了未观察到的异质性。结果表明，出生前后和上学年龄的条件对婚姻和死亡率很重要。男性通常享有婚姻的保护作用，而女性在生育年龄会受到影响。然而，在有利的经济条件下出生会降低女性生育年龄期间的死亡率。
