Reviews

"From the reviews: ""This book contains a selection of nine of the contributions to a conference with the same title as the book, held in Vienna in December 2006. ... The editors should be complimented for providing a clear focus on the econometric analysis of aspects of demographic behavior by issuing all these papers in a single volume. ... Their appearance in a single volume will hopefully inspire more interest in economic demography among economists and more interest in econometric issues among demographers."" (Jan M. Hoem, European Journal of Population, Vol. 26, October, 2010)"
