Such countries host almost 40% of the world's population, and face inherently different environmental, demographic, and socio-economic conditions than their counterparts in temperate areas. Using detailed data from all Colombian municipalities, I show that even at narrow temper- ature ranges, which are characteristic of the tropics, anomalously hot or cold days increase mortality. An additional day with mean temperature above 27°C (80.6°F) increases mortality rates by approximately 0.24 deaths per 100,000, equivalent to 0.7% of monthly death rates. Unlike temperate locations, I find that deaths attributed to infectious diseases and respiratory illnesses drive this relationship in the hot part of the distribution, mainly affecting children aged 0-9. These findings uncover new factors and populations at risk, and imply that the average person who dies after a hot temperature shock loses approximately 30 years of life. I also provide evidence that access to health care and quality of services could serve as a mediating factor between temperature and mortality.50 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEFacultad de EconomíaDocumentos CEDE No. 15 Mayo de 2022https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/020127.htmlInto the tropics: Temperature, mortality, and access to health care in ColombiaDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042Texthttp://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPWeatherTemperatureMortalityEconomíaFacultad de EconomíaPublicationTEXTdcede2022-15.pdf.txtdcede2022-15.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain101108https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/8f3c3eb1-aeff-4c93-8b83-79f2e2dde22c/download48827f48db14d2cb670acbd47f808187MD53ORIGINALdcede2022-15.pdfdcede2022-15.pdfapplication/pdf9573126https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/e267cb87-cb49-4b31-ab85-4caa4f1daa94/download9a08c78b31aab146f58411bdccbaee4bMD51THUMBNAILdcede2022-15.jpgdcede2022-15.jpgimage/jpeg78780https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/6755ea69-84f0-436b-8f04-1938a4327629/download7e05c544abc06ba3600987ebed6c0c79MD52dcede2022-15.pdf.jpgdcede2022-15.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg16537https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/1f48a640-79dc-4ab0-afee-f6baf4046a55/download14747852b67630e968955d432115ebf2MD541992/57463oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/574632024-06-04 15:42:01.625http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
