Projecting delay and compression of mortality KU Leuven
© 2018, The Author(s). Background: Although mortality delay (the shift of the age-at-death distribution to older ages) and mortality compression (less variability in the age at death) are the key dynamics that drove past mortality trends, they have seldom been included in mortality projections. Objective: We compare the projections of a new parametric mortality model that captures delay and compression of mortality (CoDe) with projections based ...
