... for the purpose of developing various demographic indices and for making future estimates of population indicates certain anomalies that call for a careful appraisal of the data. The main problem is the inconsistency in the reporting of births, due largely to the late registration of births. One plausible reason...

It seems, therefore, highly plausible that reports of extremely advanced ages at death reflect exaggerations of age rather than reality. This note reports a case history which supports this view and illustrates how ages...

In this research note, we show that intergenerational transmission of fertility is not sufficient for positive long-term population growth, for empirical and theoretical reasons. First, because transmission...

A daughter may also be favored in countries that reverse the dowry system and use a bride price instead. Finally, parents...

Ultimately, our conclusions are consistent even if penalties are closer to causally identified and therefore smaller or if penalties are much larger (using plausibly upwardly biased estimates). One major reason these estimates of penalties...
