DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Theory is important in guiding research to penetrate the bewildering surface of myriad age, sex, time and population-specific statistics about mortality at older ages. The goal of the proposed research is to advance theory and thereby empirical knowledge of mortality comparisons by using data from the "natural experiment" of East-West German unification and the resulting rapid convergence of E. German death rates to W. German levels to quantify the relative causal importance of two factors suggested by theory: "prosperity" vs. "healthcare".

描述（由申请人提供）：理论对于指导研究深入了解有关老年人死亡率的无数年龄、性别、时间和特定人群统计数据的令人困惑的表面非常重要。拟议研究的目标是通过使用东西德统一“自然实验”的数据以及由此产生的东德死亡率与西德死亡率快速趋同的数据来量化死亡率比较的理论和经验知识。理论表明的两个因素的相对因果重要性：“繁荣”与“医疗保健”。
