Abstract

The probit estimation using a large individual data set associated with the Korean economic crisis in 1997 shows that the suicidal ideation demonstrates strong response to economic crisis, depression and stress. The elasticity of income on suicide risk is greater for males than females and greater for youths and adults than olds.
