... series, but it may also lie in the census series. It seems likely that those who had divorced had less exact recall of duration since first marriage and were more prone to digit preference than those in contin- uing marriages, where passing an endur- ance marker is often cause for celebration. If those...

... by individuals' physiological features such as height and color of hair, personal characteristics such as marital status and number of children born, preference for digits such as 0 and 5, and subjective biases to either over- or underreport age. These introduce both random and systematic errors in age data...

... patterns of digit prefer- ence, the preferred digits being 0 and 5. It is therefore necessary to use duration data in broad class intervals such as 0-4, 5-9, and so forth. There are advantages in using class intervals in which 0 and 5 come in the middle, but, since the duration data are to be used...

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION This paper has taken advantage of a natural experiment in which cultural preferences give us reason to expect purposeful changes in family formation behavior.

It is apparent in Table I, for example, that the large year- to-year fluctuations in the TFR, stemming largely from well-known patterns of digit preference in the reporting of children's ages, greatly overshadow sampling error in the annual...

These models predict that as family income rises, fertility will increase (see Becker 1960 ; and for a recent review, see Doepke 2015 ).
