Age-decomposition of a difference between two populations for any life-table quantity in Excel
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide a simple VBA/Excel program that decomposes by age a difference between two values of a life-table based quantity. For example, one might want to know what are contributions of different ages into the total difference between two populations in: values of life expectancy at birth or of temporary life expectancy between exact ages 20 and 65 or of standard deviation of ages at death over age 10 and older ages or of survival from age 0 to age 15 or of any other life-table-based measure. The program uses the general algorithm of stepwise replacement for estimating the age-components.

An Excel spreadsheet for the decomposition of a difference between two values of an aggregate demographic measure by stepwise replacement running from young to old ages
A general algorithm for the decomposition of differences between two values of an aggregate demographic measure of age and other dimensions is realized as Excel/VBA. It assumes that the aggregate measure is computed from similar matrices of discrete demographic data for two populations under comparison. The algorithm estimates the effects of replacement for each elementary cell of one matrix by...
