This note shows that such a "tempo bias" can occur in age-specific mortality as well: if the age distribution of cohort deaths shifts toward older (younger) ages, the period age-specific death rate are biased downward (upward).}, URL = {https://www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol13/8/}, eprint = {https://www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol13/8/13-8.pdf} }
