O'Brien R.M. Age-Period-Cohort Models: Approaches and Analyses with Aggregate Data

Boca Raton: CRC Press, 2014. - 216 p.Age-Period-Cohort Models: Approaches and Analyses with Aggregate Data presents an introduction to the problems and strategies for modeling age, period, and cohort (APC) effects for aggregate-level data. These strategies include constrained estimation, the use of age and/or period and/or cohort characteristics, estimable functions, variance decomposition, and a new technique called the s-constraint approach.
