Resumen

Se analiza el impacto de las crisis económicas en la mortalidad en México. La identificación de este efecto es difícil porque el PIB puede ser una función de la salud. Para resolver dicho problema de endogeneidad proponemos el uso de dos tipos de variables instrumentales del PIB a nivel estado. Nuestros resultados sugieren que una caída del uno por ciento del PIB provocaría un aumento del 0.5 por ciento en la tasa de mortalidad. Los niños y adultos mayores constituyen los grupos más vulnerables. Los resultados implican que la crisis de 2008 devolvió a México a los niveles de mortalidad infantil de 2001, revirtiendo su progreso para alcanzar las metas del Milenio.
