type="main" <p>This article contributes to the geographic analysis of fertility decline in the demographic transition in Europe. We reanalyze Galloway, Hammel, and Lee's (1994) Prussian data with spatial analysis methods. Our multivariate analysis provides evidence of the predictive effect of both...</p>

This paper investigates the role of states and regions in shaping spatial patterns of non-marital fertility in Europe since 1960 using a dataset of 497 European subnational regions and smaller countries. Almost all regions registered substantial nonmarital fertility increases over the last 50...

Over the last decades numerous studies have dealt with demographic differences between the former communist eastern part of Germany and western Germany. Although the demography of these two regions has converged with respect to mortality and overall fertility levels, non-marital births are the...

For studying both individual-level and small-scale contextual influences on the effects of family policies on fertility, Multilevel Event History methods are the state-of-the-art. But in many countries, these methods cannot be applied because the available individual-level data are inadequate....

In this paper, we re-introduce geography into the analysis of fertility decline in the first demographic transition in Europe. We reanalyze Galloway et al.'s (1994) Prussian data, fitting structural models similar to those of Galloway et al. to the data and to map the residuals. Our findings...

Empirische Untersuchungen über die Auswirkungen der Transformation im ländlichen Alltagsleben der Ukraine sind nur selten zu finden. Makroökonomische und finanzpolitische Betrachtungen dominieren die Fachliteratur. Daher ist das Bild über die Veränderungen im ländlichen Raum auch noch...

Historical Germany represents a perfect laboratory for studying interregional demographic differences, yet the historical family structures in this part of the European continent remain largely unexplored. This study seeks to fill this gap by documenting the variability of living arrangements...

Untersucht wurden die räumlichen Einkommensunterschiede in Bayern im Kontext des in der bayerischen Verfassung und der Landesplanung verankerten Ziels gleichwertiger Lebensverhältnisse und Arbeitsbedingungen. Disparitäten der Einkommensverteilung spielen, unter Berücksichtigung räumlicher...
