Age-distribution dynamics and aging indexes
Available to Purchase
Demography (1997) 34 (4): 551–563.

When the fertility or mortality rate declines, the age distribution often manifests a dynamic stochastic-dominance relationship. I also propose some alternative indexes for measuring population aging...
