In 2002, John Bongaarts and Griffith Feeney introduced the revolutionary idea that this conventional estimate of period life expectancy is distorted by a tempo effect whenever longevity is changing. The tempo effect is defined as an inflation or deflation of the period incidence of a demographic event resulting from a rise or fall in the mean age at which the event occurs. Some demographers agree with this radical argument; others disagree. The book reviews the debate on how best to measure period longevity. In the various chapters, leading experts in demography critically examine the existence of the tempo effect in mortality, present extensions and applications, and compare period and cohort longevity measures. The book provides a deeper understanding of and new insights into the fundamental question "How long do we live"? 410 0$aDemographic Research Monographs, A Series of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research,$x1613-5520 606 $aDemography 606 $aPopulation 606 $aAging 606 $aStatistics  606 $aDemography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000 606 $aPopulation Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W38000 606 $aAging$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X11000 606 $aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17040 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 0$aAging. 615 0$aStatistics . 615 14$aDemography. 615 24$aPopulation Economics. 615 24$aAging. 615 24$aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law. 676 $a304.6 676 $a304.645015195 702 $aBarbi$b Elisabetta$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBongaarts$b John$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVaupel$b James W$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996320698703316 996 $aHow Long Do We Live$92141665 997 $aUNISA
