A collaborative review: Formal demography of fertility

 

We are calling on the joint brainpower of our demographic community to fill a knowledge gap. While there exist concise textbooks of formal demography in general, the literature on the formal demography of fertility remains unsystematic and scattered. Therefore, we would like to collect all important formal demographic contributions on fertility, synthesize them into a comprehensive overview and publish the result as a literature review. Would you like to contribute to this project? You can contribute by suggesting important publications* (articles, books, preprints, conference papers, etc.) that fit the following definition of formal demography of fertility: a mathematical description of fertility that allows for substantial interpretations and that holds independent of any specific context or data. Your suggestions can be submitted via e-mail to: formal-demography@mpg.demogr.mpg.de

We would like to thank you for supporting this scientific enterprise. For questions or comments, feel free to contact us via formal-fertility@demogr.mpg.de.
