Suicides and pollen co-vary seasonally. But is it causal? We use a simple daily variation estimation techniques, saturated with fixed effects to remove seasonal and location effects. We show that when pollen is in 4th quartile, there are 7.4% more suicides. Why does this matter?/2

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT 🚨
Are suicides sensitive to small health events like seasonal allergies? More than 80 mil Americans have seasonal allergies, & these are getting worse as temperatures rise. We show that there are more suicides as pollen levels rise.

It is with great sadness that I learned today of the passing of my friend, mentor, and co-author Dr. Allen Goodman. Allen was an exceptional mentor and was kind, thoughtful, and supportive. I am passing his legacy on, teach the next generation of health economists.

Burnout among emergency physicians and very very common. What is the next step? What do we do? How do we heal physicians so medicine has a future? Otherwise, no matter the technology, we might as well pack up health care and go home. @acepnation.bsky.social @antonyhsu.bsky.social
