Age-period-cohort analysis of U.S. fertility
A key question for the explanation of fertility trends in advanced societies is whether, in addition to age, period- rather than cohort-related factors matter. In this paper, we analyze a standard set of age-specific fertility rates – from the Human Fertility Database – on the United States between 1933 and 2015. More specifically, we describe and apply an Age-Period-Cohort (APC) modeling approach that relies on second differences as identifiable…
Mobile phones, digital inequality, and fertility
In this paper, we introduce the digital revolution as a potential ingredient of sub-Saharan Africa's fertility transition

Maples
In this paper we present MAPLES (Method for Age Profiles Longitudinal EStimation), a general method for the estimation of age profiles that uses standard micro-level demographic survey data. The aim is to estimate smoothed age profiles and relative ris
Women's wages and childbearing decisions
During the early 1990s, Italy became one of the first countries to reach lowest-low fertility. This was also a period in which women ́s education and labour force participation increased. We analyze the role of women ́s (potential) wages on their fertili
The 'Wedding-Ring
In this paper we develop an agent-based marriage model based on social interaction. We build an population of interacting agents whose chances of marrying depend on the availability of partners, and whose willingness to marry depends on the share of re

Multilevel Analysis of Internal Migration in a Transitional Country
Recent geographical migration studies have aimed at clarifying the impact of both social environment and people's desires and beliefs on migration behaviour. However, most studies have focused on migration in Western countries, using cross-sectional data and single level methods. In this paper, we study the determinants of internal migration in Estonia, a multicultural society, during the transition period (1989-1994). We use longitudinal data an…
Patterns of low and lowest-low fertility in Europe
In this paper we conduct descriptive aggregate analyses to revisit the relationship of low and lowest-low period fertility to cohort fertility and key fertility-related behaviour such as leaving the parental home, marriage, and women's labour force participation. Our analyses show that the cross-country correlations in Europe between total fertility and the total first marriage rate, the proportion of extramarital births, and the labour force par…
Discussion of paper ‘Explanations of the fertility crisis in modern societies
Becoming an Adult in Europe
Extreme cases in demography are important challenges for researchers, and the still important heterogeneity of European societies is a blessing for scholars interested in studying the importance of cultural and institutional factors. In the transition
Bayesian spatial analysis of demographic survey data
In this paper we analyze the spatial patterns of the risk of unprotected sexual intercourse for Italian women during their initial experience with sexual intercourse. We rely on geo-referenced survey data from the Italian Fertility and Family Survey, a
Political Economy and Life Course Patterns
We explore the strong linkages between macro changes and the dynamics of educational, occupational, family, and residential careers of young Spanish adults born between 1945 and 1974. We review theory and evidence on macro factors: changes in the welfa
The transition to adulthood in Italy. Evidence from cross-sectional surveys / Le passage à l'âge adulte en Italie
The Transition to adulthood in Italy The authors use cross-sectional data in order to study the transition to adulthood of young Italians, over the 1983-1993 decade. Leaving the parental home is evidently and increasingly postponed. Nevertheless, a slight rise of non-traditional family/residential states may be observed. The aims of this paper are mainly two. Firstly, we would like to describe the condition of young adults, accounting for changes…
