Аннотация:This paper studies the determinants of Russian adult mortality controlling for both
individual and household heterogeneity. We employ survival analysis and utilize
12 rounds of the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey spanning a 14-year period.
Although confirming the crucial role of excessive alcohol consumption in shaping
adult mortality risks in Russia, the results are original in several other respects.
We find empirical support for the importance of relative status measured in nonincome
terms in shaping mortality hazards. We find evidence of the influence of
labour market behaviour, and sectoral and occupational mobility in particular, on
longevity. The detrimental role of smoking to health is found to be comparable with
the role of excess alcohol consumption, which is novel in the Russian context where
the influence of smoking is typically downplayed in comparison with alcoholism.
Finally, we find no micro evidence in support of the political economy view based
on a positive correlation between low alcohol prices and high mortality rates found
in regional-level data.
