Discussion Paper Series

Discussion Papers are typically pre-publication manuscripts drawn from the Demography Workshop that are disseminated to stimulate comment or to make results quickly available. The Discussion Paper Series was initiated in 1983 to facilitate communication between Population Research Center research associates and other social scientists and also to publicize the broad scope of PRC research activities. Prior to 1993, PRC Discussion Papers were issued as part of the Discussion Paper Series of the Economics Research Center/NORC (1983-1992) and the Ogburn-Stouffer Research Center (1989-1992).

Some working papers are available online; these are highlighted and underlined in the following lists. To view a paper online, simply click on the paper's title in the discussion papers list. (Only highlighted and underlined papers are available online.) All papers are published here in Adobe Acrobat format. To view them online, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader software. Most of the older publications are linked to JSTOR.
