... ). A regime of declining mortality with Barker frailty exhibits a distinct dynamic. First, although standard frailty leads to progressive attenuation of the slope of adult mortality rates at older ages, Barker frailty can produce unequal levels of attenuation over time. Second, when background mortality...

.... On the other hand, explanation methods are trying to link mortality dynamics with observable factors. This serves as an intermediate step between the two methods. We perform a comprehensive analysis on the relationship between the latent trend in mortality dynamics and the trend in economic growth represented...

Approaches that account for dynamic age shifts in survival improvements appear to perform better than others that enforce relatively invariant patterns. However, because forecasting approaches are designed to capture trends in average mortality, we argue...
