The growing number of given names as a clue to the beginning of the demographic transition in Europe
Cultural factors are usually considered to have played a crucial role in the reduction in neonatal and infant mortality during the demographic transition; however, so far historical demographers have failed to produce precise measurements of their impact
A synthetic measure of mortality using skeletal data from ancient cemeteries: The d index
Due to the scarcity of written sources in ancient historical periods, and thanks to the development of increasingly sophisticated methods of excavation, recognition, publication, and interpretation, archaeology has played an important role in the understan
First signs of transition: The parallel decline of early baptism and early mortality in the province of Padua (northeast Italy), 1816-1870
The aim of this article is to investigate the parallel decline of early baptism and early mortality at the beginning of the demographic transition in a European high-neonatal mortality context
Mediterranean Families in Antiquity: Households, Extended Families, and Domestic Space
Mortality selection in the first three months of life and survival in the following thirty-three months in rural Veneto (North-East Italy) from 1816 to 1835
A number of studies have examined the influence of life conditions in infancy (and pregnancy) on mortality risks in adulthood or old age. For those individuals who survived difficult life conditions, some scholars have found a prevalence of positive select
Siblings and human capital: A comparison between Italy and France
This paper investigates how family size affects children's human capital, comparing Italy and France. We tested the dilution effect in these countries, starting with the assumption that the higher the number of siblings, the fewer parental resources are available for each child, and the lower the probability that each child will successfully pursue his/her educational career. We find a negative correlation between the number of siblings and human…
Comparisons of infant mortality in the Austrian Empire Länder using the Tafeln (1851-54)
In this paper we measure differences in infant mortality among the central European populations of the Austrian Empire during the mid-19th century using data published in the Tafeln zur Statistik der à sterreichischen Monarchie (Statistical Tables of th

Social mobility and fertility
Intra- and inter-generational social mobility have in the past played an important role in attempts to explain fertility behaviour, and continue to do so today. The opinions expressed by social scientists in the first part of the 20th century are renew
Investigation of a Unit Non-Response Adjustment Procedure: The Case of the Urban Fertility Survey, Italy, 2001-2002
One of the most difficult problem in surveys, both practical and theoretical, is the unit non-response error which results from a failure to collect information on all units in the selected sample (people cannot be contacted or refuse the interview). Unit non-response is a source of nonsampling error which can influence survey results in two ways. First, if unit non-response is high it may affect estimate precision due to a decrease in sample siz…
Population replacement, social mobility and development in Italy in the twentieth century
Many scholars have expressed alarm at the low fertility and sustained immigration that have characterized Italy in the last decade (1.3 children per woman and an increase of more than 200,000 immigrants per year). This article takes a different approach, showing how low fertility and strong migratory balances (involving migration both between Italian regions and from abroad) have enhanced the formation of human capital, facilitating family strate…
Une procédure de redressement du biais de non-réponse: Le Cas De l'Enquête Italienne Sur La Fécondité Urbaine, 2001-2002
Cette note examine le biais de sélection dû à la non-réponse dans le cas d'une enquête auprès d'un échantillon de mères, et propose un mode de collecte en deux étapes ainsi qu'une méthode de redressement pour pallier ce problème. Dans un premier temps, un bref questionnaire auto-administré est soumis à un échantillon d'élèves ; puis chaque élève est chargé de remettre à sa mère le questionnaire plus complexe qu'il devra rapporter à l'école. En ap…
Interdependence between sexual debut and church attendance in Italy
The influence of religion on an individualâ s life-course in general â and on sexual behaviour in particular â has long been recognised by social scientists, although few studies have explored the reciprocal causal interdependence between religiosity an

New perspectives in interpreting contemporary family and reproductive - haviour of Mediterranean Europe 1.
