| description |
The authors focus on infant and child
mortality in rural areas of India. They construct a flexible
duration model framework that allows for frailty at multiple
levels and interactions between the child's age and
individual socioeconomic, and environmental characteristics.
The model is estimated using the 1998-99 wave of the Indian
National Family and Health Survey. The estimated results
show that socioeconomic and environmental characteristics
have significantly different effects on mortality rates at
different ages. These are particularly important immediately
after birth. The authors use the estimated model for policy
experiments. These indicate that child mortality can be
reduced substantially, particularly by improving the
education of women and reducing indoor air pollution caused
by cooking fuels. In addition, providing access to
electricity and sanitation facilities can reduce
under-five-years mortality rates significantly. |
