2. Birth year Panels A and B show the share of white births by cohort which are of the listed birth order (parity) or higher. Data for 1930-1939 are digitized from Vital Statistics reports, and for 1940-1970 are calculated from "U.S. Cohort and Period Fertility Tables, 1917-1980" compiled by Robert D. Hauser and available from the Office of Population Research at Princeton. Panels C and D report detrended simulated log mortality rates to show the impact of these birth order trends on log mortality rates by cohort. The simulation uses observed birth order shares, odds ratio estimates of the impact of birth order on mortality from Barclay and Kolk (2015), and observed mortality rates at age 40 of the 1949 and 1946 cohorts of white women and men, respectively.
