title: A reconstruction of the population of north Italy from 1650 to 1881 using annual inverse projection with comparisons to England, France, and Sweden.
abstract: "North Italy annual population and vital rates are reconstructed from 1650 to 1881 using series of vital event indices from many rural parishes and cities.  Inverse projection is applied to the reconstructed series of vital events and population to generate annual age distribution, gross reproduction rate, net reproduction rate, life expectancy at birth, and infant mortality rate.  The results are compared with official sources and detailed demographic rates produced by annual inverse projection using data from England, France, and Sweden.  Over the long term, North Italy is generally characterized by stagnant and relatively high mortality.  Fertility and nuptiality are relatively high at the beginning and at the end of the period."
