Frontiers of
Population Forecasting
Lutz, Vaupel, and Ahlburg, eds., 1998
Reexamination of the procedures of population forecasting in response to
emerging demands. Addresses key issues: What population characteristics
beyond the standard variables of age and sex should routinely enter
population forecasts? When should forecasts take account of economic or
environmental feedbacks? How is forecasting accuracy to be assessed and what
is the past record? What is the state of the art of stochastic time series
modeling of population change? How can users cope with probability
distributions? What scope is there for application of methods to incorporate
expert opinion into population forecasting?

Child Survival: Strategies for Research
