The Health Effects of Prison (with Randi Hjalmarsson) American Economic Journal: Applied Economics 14(4), October 2022, 234-270.

This paper analyzes the impact of longer prison exposure on post-release mortality (all cause and cause specific) by taking advantage of two Swedish early release reforms in 1993 and 1999 that held prison sentences constant but changed the share of time inmates were required to serve from one-half to two-thirds.
