demog-research-design

separate

Use when defending the research design of a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) manuscript — choosing among demographic methods (life tables, decomposition, event-history/survival, age-period-cohort, multistate, microsimulation, projections) and, where the question is causal, defending identification. Demography judges each method on its own terms. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.

When to use

• Choosing demographic methods
• Defending rate construction
• Defending identification
• Specifying APC designs
• Justifying design against rival accounts
• Defending projection assumptions

When not to use

• Writing code
