At Oxford University Press, we are pleased to support the SHAPE (Social Sciences, Humanities, and the Arts for People and the Economy) initiative. This collective name for the social sciences, humanities, and arts, enables us to articulate clearly the value of these subject areas, and recognize the contributions they make, alongside STEM subjects, in helping us to understand the world in which we live, and find solutions to global issues.

Public policies affect not only health and mortality at the individual level, but also the inequality of longevity—inequality in the number of years lived. For example, higher tobacco1 and alcohol2 taxes reduce consumption, as do nonfiscal regulatory measures such as restrictions on smoking in closed spaces. This reduces avoidable mortality from lung cancer and liver cirrhosis.
Inequalities of Income and Inequalities of Longevity: A Cross-Country Study
Conclusions. To the extent that our estimated effects derived from observational data are causal, governments can reduce longevity inequality not only via public health policies, but also via their influence on market income inequality and the redistribution of incomes from the relatively rich to the relatively poor.
