ECIN Replication Package for " "LONG GFC"? The Global Financial Crisis, Health Care, and COVID-19 Deaths"

Do financial crises affect long-term public health?
To answer this question, we examined the relationship between the 2007-2009
Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and the 2020-2022 COVID-19 pandemic.
Specifically, we examined the relationship between the financial losses derived
from the GFC, and the health outcomes associated with the first wave of the
pandemic. European countries that were more affected by the financial crisis
had more deaths relative to coronavirus cases. An analogous relationship emerged
across Spanish provinces and US states. Part of the transmission from finances
to health outcomes appears to have occurred through cross-sectional differences
in health care facilities.
