[A note on the use of information concerning the residence of surviving siblings to estimate emigration].

"Two improvements are presented in the previously developed method for measuring international emigration based on information provided by surviving siblings. The first is a simplification of the procedure for estimating surviving siblings when the information does not exist because they all live abroad. The second...is a procedure for estimating the distribution by age of the surviving emigrant siblings using models." The improved procedures are applied to data for Barbados. (summary in ENG)

[The concept of open stable population: an application to the study of changes in population structure].

"The open stable population model is an extension of the stable population model. It is based upon a new immigration index. The model is used to study the impact of demographic phenomena on the population's structure by age and place of birth. For a given increase in the rate of growth, a fertility increase has more impact on the rejuvenation of the age structure than an immigration increase. With an average of 1.75 children per woman, the minimum immigration level required to avoid a decrease in population would result in a percentage of foreign-born similar to the maximum observed in any developed country...." The geographical focus is on developed countries, particularly Canada. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)

[Place of residence and registration: problems and comparability in the classification of births].

In 1973, the classification method for births in Mexico was changed from place of registration to place of mother's residence. "The objective of this work is to analyze how the place of 'customary residence of the mother' has been registered and to determine if the change of classification has some effect [on] the comparability of the information about births in different states. The information analyzed is divided into two periods, according to the way in which it was obtained and processed and the institution responsible for its publication." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Ethnographic methods in the development of census procedures for enumerating the homeless.

The use of ethnographic methods to estimate the number of homeless persons in the United States is explored. The authors describe how "ethnographic methods were integrated with survey procedures in a 1989 Census Bureau pilot test of an experimental daytime count of homeless persons in Baltimore, MD. We demonstrated that ethnographic techniques do not have to be merely supplemental to survey research, but can play an integral part in shaping the entire procedure. Ethnographic data proved valuable for choosing sites, designing questionnaires and developing new interview approaches, and have since proven equally useful in interpreting the test results."

A Chinese female postnuptial leaving home model--a procedure for analyzing main parameters alpha and beta in the setting up, testing and estimation of the model.

"The first section of this article...sets up a model for leaving home after marriage that is suited to China's situation. The second section performs a statistical test and verification of the formulated model for leaving home after marriage. The third section...proposes a method for analyzing the main parameters...in the model...." The model is set up along the lines of the Brass-Gompertz relational fertility model.

Comparing cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of residential mobility and migration.

"A reevaluation of cross-sectional versus longitudinal models of residential mobility...casts doubt on the study by Davies and Pickles in 1985 in which it was argued that cross-sectional analysis is inadequate.... With the use of data from the [U.S.] Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), the conclusion of this reevaluation is that longitudinal analysis increases our understanding of the processes and provides a richer understanding of migration and mobility but does not undermine the work that has been produced from cross-sectional analysis."

[Enumeration from municipal population registers, January 1, 1992. Main results].

"On 1 January 1992 the Netherlands Central Bureau for Statistics carried out an enumeration from computerized municipal population registers. For each inhabitant the following data were collected: municipality of residence; sex; year of birth; family status; family formation; address; nuclear family number; marital status; year of most recent change of marital status; nationality; country of birth; father's country of birth; mother's country of birth; [and] year of most recent settlement in the Netherlands." The focus is on changes in family composition. (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Family reunification and family-formation migration, 1987-1991].

"Indirect estimates were made of family reunification and family formation migration [in the Netherlands], based on such demographic characteristics as nationality, country of birth, age, marital status, year of marriage and family situation after the migration. The estimates are based on the 1992 enumeration from the municipal population registers." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Demographic data and the potential demand for housing: a cohort approach].

"Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is actively involved in conducting research on demographic change and housing demand. Household projections are at the center of this research....CMHC is working with the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University to develop a cohort-based method for extrapolating headship and ownership rates. The method offers advantages over other approaches in that it recognizes differences between generations, provides a useful framework for analysis, and offers considerable flexibility in tailoring projection assumptions. Preliminary cohort-based potential housing demand projections show broad consistency with current low levels of housing market activity and point to continuation of some of the established trends in the past twenty years."

The importance of demographics in economic analysis: the unusual suspects.

"The proper use of demographic information can add significantly to the ability to analyze and forecast economic activity. With housing, short-run forecasting is difficult and long-term forecasting impossible without considering changing demographic factors. Combining detailed demographic analysis with sound structural econometric modeling of the cyclical factors underlying the demand for and the supply of housing has resulted in significantly more accurate analyses and forecasts of the [U.S.] housing market."
