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.
