Abstract:

Each year between 40,000 and 50,000 people die in highway accidents. Mandatory ; seatbelt use laws (MULs) promise a substantial reduction in both highway fatalities ; and the severity of non-fatal accidents. A pooled rross-section time-series model ; is constructed to estimate the effectiveness of MULs in the nine states and District ; of Columbia where they were implemented in 1985. It is estimated that because of ; MULs 258 lives were saved in 1985.
