  • Trend and variation in the seasonality of U.S. fertility, 1947–1976

    Open AccessDaniel A SeiverARTICLEDemography1985Cited by: 31References: 12

    This paper documents the postwar pattern of seasonality of births, for the United States and its divisions, using a simple time-varying parameter model. Variations over time and over space in seasonality are analyzed. In general, the South exhibits the greatest seasonal variation, and the most dramatic changes in seasonality. In later sections the hypothesis that the spread of air conditioning is responsible for the postwar changes in seasonality…

    W. Whitney Hicks's comments on my paper(1) can be reduced to four major points, all of which I dispute wholeheartedly

  • Comment on W. Whitney Hicks’ “economic development and fertility change in Mexico, 1950–1970”

    Open AccessDaniel A SeiverARTICLEDemography1976

    W. Whitney Hicks has examined a puzzling problem of modern economicdemographic history: the continuation of high fertility in Mexico in the presence of rapid and persistent economic growth (Hicks, 1974). The theory of the demographic transition (DT) implies that birth rates should be falling in Mexico, and DT optimists suggest that a decline is imminent (Oechsli and Kirk, 1974). While I concur with Hicks' conclusion that a rapid fertility decline…

  • Comment on N. K. Namboodiri’s “which couples at given parities expect to have additional births? an exercise in discriminant analysis”

    Open AccessMark R Rosenzweig, Daniel A SeiverARTICLEDemography1975

    N. K. Namboodiri deserves much credit for turning fertility analysis toward the study of the transition from one birth order to the next (Namboodiri, 1972). Economists are also modifying their approach to fertility in the same fashion (Heckman and Willis, n.d.; Michael and Willis, n.d.). In Namboodiri's recent attempt to put empirical flesh on his theoretical skeleton (Which Couples at Given Parities Expect to Have Additional Births? An Exercise …

  • Recent Fertility in Mexico: Measurement and Interpretation

    Daniel A SeiverARTICLEPopulation Studies1975Cited by: 1References: 4

    Mexican fertility has remained at a high level (a crude birth rate of 42-46) in spite of rapid economic development and its concomitants: rising levels of urbanization, education, income, and female labour force participation, and falling levels of infant mortality and agricultural population, combined with rural-urban migration. Data on child-woman ratios and children-ever-born statistics, for Mexico and each state, suggest that the constant cru…
