Abstract
The object of this paper is to estimate levels of life expectancy in Spain during the second half of the eighteenth century. The author uses a method developed by S. H. Preston and N. G. Bennett that permits estimation of life expectancies using information on the age distribution at two points in time plus age-specific growth rates between those points. The data are from the censuses of 1768 1787 and 1797. Comparisons are made with estimates derived from quasi-stable population theory. (EXCERPT)
期刊介绍:
Historical Methodsreaches an international audience of social scientists concerned with historical problems. It explores interdisciplinary approaches to new data sources, new approaches to older questions and material, and practical discussions of computer and statistical methodology, data collection, and sampling procedures. The journal includes the following features: “Evidence Matters” emphasizes how to find, decipher, and analyze evidence whether or not that evidence is meant to be quantified. “Database Developments” announces major new public databases or large alterations in older ones, discusses innovative ways to organize them, and explains new ways of categorizing information.
