dc.description.abstractA number of studies suggest that mortality rates among East German men increasedin the wake of reunification, in particular between 1989 and 1991, in some age groupsby up to thirty percent. This study first examines the developments of mortality andcause of death statistics based on detailed regional data. The results indicate thatthere was indeed an increase in mortality rates which cannot be dismissed as astatistical artefact. Next, the paper discusses various theories explaining mortalitycrises and their relevance for the case of East Germany. Based on individual-levelpanel data the relationship between exposure to stress and overall health is shown.Apparently, the increase in mortality can be explained by the increase in individualstress levels after the economic, cultural and political consequences of reunification.en
