This rejoinder is written in response to the comment by Cutler and Miller (hereafter CM) on our paper, “ Reexamining the Contribution of Public Health Efforts to the Decline in Urban Mortality” (Anderson, Charles, and Rees 2022a). In their comment, CM acknowledge making unambiguous data transcription errors when constructing the infant mortality rates,1 assess the sensitivity of their filtration estimates to alternative intervention dates, and defend the population denominators they used to construct total mortality rates. In this rejoinder, we focus on the third issue, the population denominators. (JEL H75, I12, I18, J13, Q18, Q51, Q53)

重新审视公共卫生工作对城市死亡率下降的贡献：回复

此反驳是针对卡特勒和米勒（以下简称 CM）在我们的论文“重新审视公共卫生努力对城市死亡率下降的贡献”（Anderson、Charles 和 Rees 2022a）中的评论而写的。在他们的评论中，CM 承认在构建婴儿死亡率时存在明确的数据转录错误，1 评估他们的过滤估计对替代干预日期的敏感性，并捍卫他们用来构建总死亡率的人口分母。在这个反驳中，我们关注第三个问题，人口分母。（JEL H75、I12、I18、J13、Q18、Q51、Q53）
