Death distribution methods for estimating adult mortality
Hill, Kenneth; You, Danzhen; Choi, Yoonjoung - In: Demographic Research 21 (2009) 9, pp. 235-254
TThe General Growth Balance (GGB) and Synthetic Extinct Generations (SEG) methods have been widely used to evaluate the coverage of registered deaths in developing countries. However, relatively little is known about how the methods behave in the presence of different data errors. This paper...

An Illustration of the Problems Caused by Incomplete Education Histories in Fertility Analyses
NNN1Kravdal, FFF1Øystein - In: Demographic Research Special Collections 3 (2004) 6, pp. 135-154
When assessing the importance of education for fertility, one should ideally use complete education histories. Unfortunately, such data are often not available. It is illustrated here, using register data for Norwegian women born in 1969, that inclusion of educational level at the latest age...
