The difference in life expectancy between the highest-paid and lowest-paid members of US society exceeds 14 years. The gap is approximately equivalent to eighty years of secular improvement in mortality. This dissertation examines the US stratification regime features that contribute to such large, persistent differences in longevity. I examine how income mobility--or the rigidity of social stratification--shapes population health inequality in the US. In doing so, I show that income mobility arguably plays a larger role in producing health disparities than does income inequality, i.e., the distribution of material resources. Although these dimensions of stratification are related, the mechanisms connecting income mobility and health are theoretically distinct and independent from those that arise as a result of inequality. I demonstrate that these mechanisms can have powerful and lasting consequences for population health. I use three strategies to make this argument. First, I descriptively analyze aggregated data in the US to assess the magnitude, robustness, and variability of the relationship between income mobility and mortality. I then analyze cohorts of individuals followed longitudinally in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and the National Longitudinal Study of Youth. I use marginal structural models to examine the mechanisms linking features of the income mobility regime and health outcomes. Building on these analyses, I design an agent-based model to formalize relationships among the mechanisms linking income mobility and health. These virtual representations help elucidate implications of the theory. They also provide a general framework with which to assess previous research and to design new inquiries on stratification and survival. |

Early Exposure to County Income Mobility and Adult Individual Health in the United States Journals of Gerontology: Series B published online (1 February 2022): gbab240. Also: https://academic.oup.com/psychsocgerontology/advance-article/doi/10.1093/geronb/gbab240/6519680 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Gerontological Society of America Keyword(s): Body Mass Index (BMI); Childhood; Geocoded Data; Health, Mental/Psychological; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Mobility, Economic; Mobility, Residential; Mortality; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID); Smoking (see Cigarette Use) Studies based on aggregate and cross-sectional individual data show an association between US county income mobility and mortality and individual health. However, inferring individual effects from aggregate data can be problematic. Furthermore, assessing exposure to income mobility using the county where respondents currently live or die might overlook selection processes associated with residential mobility. This paper aims to extend previous research by estimating the consequences of average individual exposure to mobility regimes during childhood and adolescence on adult health. Our contribution is a more precise test of the hypothesis that childhood exposure to income mobility regimes may influence health status through behavior later in life and contribute to longevity gaps. |

The Consequences of Incarceration for Mortality in the United States Demography published online (19 March 2020): DOI: 10.1007/s13524-020-00869-5. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13524-020-00869-5 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Incarceration/Jail; Mortality; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Previous research has suggested that incarceration has negative implications for individuals' well-being, health, and mortality. Most of these studies, however, have not followed former prisoners over an extended period and into older adult ages, when the risk of health deterioration and mortality is the greatest. Contributing to this literature, this study is the first to employ the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) to estimate the long-run association between individual incarceration and mortality over nearly 40 years. We also supplement those analyses with data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79). We then use these estimates to investigate the implications of the U.S. incarceration regime and the post-1980 incarceration boom for the U.S. health and mortality disadvantage relative to industrialized peer countries (the United Kingdom). |
