      abstract = {Research on motor vehicle safety has involved virtually  all modes of transportation. Most of these have been  national in scope with relatively few studies focused on  the determinants of motor vehicle fatalities at the state  level. This paper investigates the determinants of motor  vehicle fatalities across the states of California,  Illinois, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Texas which  collectively account for 27% of U.S. motor vehicle  fatalities in 2006. A major conclusion is that fatalities  and its determinants vary by state, and several of these  determinants are subject to state policy control. As such,  our coefficient estimates and econometric framework are  relevant for designing policies intended to reduce motor  vehicle fatalities.},
