Studies concerned with demographic methods and with methods from other disciplines that have been applied to demographic data as a whole. Includes mathematical demography and studies on methods of estimation and indirect estimation. Methodological studies and models concerned with one demographic variable, such as migration, are coded under the category concerned with that topic and cross-referenced to this heading. Studies on models used to investigate relationships between demographic variables and for the analysis of empirical data are also coded under this heading.

"The current paper develops models of migration and
shows the effect on the ensuing local population. The Sharpe-Lotka
single sex deterministic model is used as the basis for the analysis
together with the traditional Laplace transform methodology for its
solution. We develop a number of simple theoretical models of an
immigration varying over time, in order to overcome the hypothesis of
constant migratory flows underlying past literature on the subject. In
particular, a model is being developed to take account of gradually
reduced differences in the fertility behaviour between the immigrant
and the local population. The problem of determining the absolute
immigration levels needed to approach a given future population is also
discussed."
