Abstract
Rees P. H. and Wilson A. G. (1974) A comparison of available models of population change, Reg. Studies 9, 39–61. A hypothetical example and a common algebraic notation are employed in this paper to facilitate a systematic comparison of available models of population growth processes. The models reviewed are the cohort survival model (in “closed system” Leslie form, single region/components form, and in Rogers' multi-regional form), a projection model based on a multiregional life table, Stone's demographic accounting model and the account-based model of the present authors. Some concluding comments are made which offer indicators of how the “effectiveness” of the models can be assessed by potential users.Keywords
