From the reviews: "This book contains a selection of nine of the contributions to a conference with the same title as the book, held in Vienna in December 2006. ... The editors should be complimented for providing a clear focus on the econometric analysis of aspects of demographic behavior by issuing all these papers in a single volume. ... Their appearance in a single volume will hopefully inspire more interest in economic demography among economists and more interest in econometric issues among demographers."--- (Jan M. Hoem, European Journal of Population, Vol. 26, October, 2010)
