Is the “OK Boomer” Meme Realistic for Major Public Transfers in Canada? Intergenerational Equity and Long-Run Public Policy in Canada
Le mème unidimensionnel « OK Boomer » attribue les problèmes d'accessibilité financière auxquels sont confrontées les jeunes générations aux avantages excessifs dont bénéficient les baby-boomers. La littérature connexe sur la comptabilité générationnelle, qui se concentre uniquement sur les groupes d’âge, ne tient généralement pas compte des composantes de genre et de revenu de l'inégalité économique. L’étude présente une analyse quantitative dét…
Health and Social Science Data—The Need to Reform Canada's Research Infrastructure
La collecte, la conservation et l'analyse des données sont fondamentales pour la recherche de pointe en sciences sociales et en santé. Malgré le rôle joué par Statistique Canada et l'Institut canadien d'information sur la santé (ICIS), les données importantes sont beaucoup trop cloisonnées au sein des provinces. Il est impossible d'entreprendre des analyses critiques, car les structures de financement de la recherche au Canada sont insuffisantes …
State-level association between income inequality and mortality in the USA, 1989–2019
BACKGROUND: Prior studies have shown a positive relationship between income inequality and population-level mortality. This study investigates whether the relationship between US state-level income inequality and all-cause mortality persisted from 1989 to 2019 and whether changes in income inequality were correlated with changes in mortality rates. METHODS: We perform repeated cross-sectional regressions of mortality on state-level inequality mea…

Income inequality and population health
There is more than 30 years of research on relationships between income inequality and population health. In this article, we propose a research agenda with five recommendations for future research to refine existing knowledge and examine new questions. First, we recommend that future research prioritise analyses with broader time horizons, exploring multiple temporal aspects of the relationship. Second, we recommend expanding research on the eff…
On Measuring the Inequity of Financing Health Care in the United States and the Redistribution of Income Through Health Care Financing in Canada

It is widely known that that there is a significant dispersion in health status, as well as a strong correlation between health status and socio-economic status. But considerable uncertainty remains as to the quantitative importance of the various explanat
O3-5.4 Datashield
Contemporary research in biosocial science can demand vast sample sizes. Often, data must be aggregated across several studies or data sources to provide adequate power. When a pooled analysis is required, analytic efficiency and flexibility are typically best served by combining the individual-level data from all sources and analysing them as a single large data set. But valid ethico-legal constraints can prohibit or discourage the sharing of in…
O4-2.2 Healthpaths dynamics
There is significant dispersion in health status in populations, as well as a strong correlation between health status and socio-economc status. However, there remains considerable uncertainty as to the quantitiative importance of various causal factors in accounting for these health inequalities. Since health status is intrinsically a reflection of co-evolving dynamic processes, it is essential to employ an analytical framework that brings toget…

Is Income Inequality a Determinant of Population Health? Part 1. A Systematic Review
This article reviews 98 aggregate and multilevel studies examining the associations between income inequality and health. Overall, there seems to be little support for the idea that income inequality is a major, generalizable determinant of population health differences within or between rich countries. Income inequality may, however, directly influence some health outcomes, such as homicide in some contexts. The strongest evidence for direct hea…
US regional and national cause-specific mortality and trends in income inequality
We examined the concordance of income inequality trends with 30-year US regional trends in cause-specific mortality and 100-year trends in heart disease and infant mortality. The evidence suggests that any effects of income inequality on population hea
Relation between income inequality and mortality
Objective: To assess the extent to which observed associations at population level between income inequality and mortality are statistical artefacts. Design: Indirect “what if” simulation by using observed risks of mortality at individual level as a function of income to construct hypothetical state level mortality specific for age and sex as if the statistical artefact argument were 100% correct. Setting: Data from the 1990 census for the 50 US …

Informational determinants of females' self-attributions and observers' judgments of them in an achievement situation
A female (A) received feedback about both her own and a male or female other's (B's) performance on an achievement task, and then estimated the likelihood that she and B possessed each of several attributes related to competence, likeableness, and physical attractiveness. The situation was witnessed by a male or female observer who then judged B's attributes and predicted A's and B's ratings of one another. A formulation of social inference proce…
