Period and cohort effects on elderly mortality: a new relational model for smoothing mortality surfaces
This study investigates the relative importance of period and cohort effects in adult and elderly mortality in Italy and Sweden in the second half of the 20th century. For this purpose, we devised a two-dimensional semi-parametric model for mortality surfaces that produces good fit to the data and r...
