中文摘要
本文是对 Cutler 和 Miller（以下简称 CM）对我们论文《重新审视公共卫生努力对城市死亡率下降的贡献》(Anderson, Charles, and Rees 2022a) 的评论的回应。在他们的评论中，CM 承认在构建婴儿死亡率时存在明确的数据转录错误，评估了其过滤估计值对不同干预日期的敏感性，并为其用于构建总死亡率的人口分母进行了辩护。在本回应中，我们重点关注第三个问题，即人口分母。 (JEL H75, I12, I18, J13, Q18, Q51, Q53)
Abstract
This rejoinder is written in response to the comment by Cutler and Miller (hereafter CM) on our paper, “ Reexamining the Contribution of Public Health Efforts to the Decline in Urban Mortality” (Anderson, Charles, and Rees 2022a). In their comment, CM acknowledge making unambiguous data transcription errors when constructing the infant mortality rates,1 assess the sensitivity of their filtration estimates to alternative intervention dates, and defend the population denominators they used to construct total mortality rates. In this rejoinder, we focus on the third issue, the population denominators. (JEL H75, I12, I18, J13, Q18, Q51, Q53)
