De Nicola, Giacomo und Kauermann, Göran (2022): An update on excess mortality in the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. In: AStA Wirtschafts- und Sozialstatistisches Archiv, Bd. 16, Nr. 1: S. 21-24

Abstract

In this short note, we apply the method of De Nicola et al. (2022) to the most recent available data, thereby providing up-to-date estimates of all-cause excess mortality in Germany for 2021. The analysis reveals a preliminary excess mortality of approximately 2.3% for the calendar year considered. The excess is mainly driven by significantly higher excess mortality in the 60-79 age group.
