Age-Period-Cohort Models

Approaches and Analyses with Aggregate Data

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents an introduction to the problems and strategies for modeling age, period, and cohort (APC) effects for aggregate-level data. These strategies include constrained estimation, the use of age and/or period and/or cohort characteristics, estimable functions, variance decomposition, and a new technique called the s-constraint approach. Emphasizing both the geometry and algebra of several APC approaches, the book develops readers' understanding of the statistical issues of APC analysis and shows how common methods are related to each other.

Rezensionen

"This is an excellent book on age-period-cohort (APC) models for the analysis of data from demography and related fields. ... an excellent work with wonderful resources on APC models. ... It will be very useful to research scholars ... looking for several advanced APC approaches. The book effectively presents the strengths and weaknesses of various statistical methods of APC analysis, which should lead to advanced future research and better interpretation of existing research."
