In the analysis, for changes in the current level of unemployment rate, mortality is found to be significantly counter-cyclical in nature for males aged 35-44 and combined sexes in the same age group. Furthermore, using the previous year’s unemployment rate (lag 1); the analysis shows that mortality is pro-cyclical for males and combined sexes aged 55-64. (Note that only four (out of 45) results were significant, hence we have to be careful about drawing any conclusions from this analysis.) </p><p>Table S3 Result of the Aggregate State Level data (Age-Specific) 15-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 65 and above Males Unemployment 0.019 1.892* 0.317 -0.211 0.225 Rate, Lag 0 (0.651) (0.833) (0.595) (0.287) (0.293) Unemployment 0.481 0.876 0.103 -0.795** -0.061 Rate, Lag 1 (0.608) (0.809) (0.573) (0.277) (0.289) Unemployment -0.196 0.564 0.253 0.027 0.082 Rate, Lag 2 (0.576) (0.809) (0.570) (0.274) (0.283) Females Unemployment 0.268 0.049 0.712 -0.230 -0.383 Rate, Lag 0 (1.021) (1.236) (0.934) (0.613) (0.247) Unemployment 0.296 0.331 -0.086 -0.705 -0.009 Rate, Lag 1 (0.980) (1.258) (0.912) (0.599) (0.240) Unemployment 0.250 0.606 0.540 -0.504 -0.198 Rate, Lag 2 (0.957) (1.257) (0.897) (0.594) (0.233) Combined Sexes Unemployment 0.129 2.175* 0.660 -0.348 -0.071 Rate, Lag 0 (0.675) (0.851) (0.545) (0.310) (0.314) Unemployment 0.307 1.097 0.527 -0.807** -0.102 Rate, Lag 1 (0.635) (0.847) (0.528) (0.300) (0.303) Unemployment 0.042 0.742 0.299 -0.282 -0.106 Rate, Lag 2 (0.606) (0.849) (0.527) (0.294) (0.293) These are the results of models where each lag of unemployment was fitted separately.
