Figure 1From: Economic stress or random variation? Revisiting German reunification as a natural experiment to investigate the effect of economic contraction on sex ratios at birth SRB, unemployment rate, moving SRB variance, and number of births (by region and year, 1946–2011).

Data sources: Human Mortality Database[50] and Federal Employment Agency, own calculations.Back to article page
