Janine Aron and John Muellbauer in a new article published on The Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET Oxford) website assess how to make valid comparisons of excess mortality between the U.S. and Europe during the pandemic.

A pandemic ,primer by Janine Aron and John Muellbauer, members of the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science, University of Oxford, with Charlie Giattino and Hannah Ritchie, examines excess mortality statistics and their comparability across countries. Excess mortality data avoid miscounting deaths from the under-reporting of Covid-19-related deaths and other health conditions left untreated.
