Understanding Mortality Dynamics

Roland Rau, Marcus Ebeling, Torsten Sauer, James W. Vaupel; in Collaboration with Anders Ahlbom, Karin Modig (both: Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden), Christina Bohk-Ewald (University of Helsinki, Finland), Eva Kibele (The Statistical Office of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, Germany), Sebastian Klüsener (Federal Institute for Population Research, Wiesbaden, Germany), Magdalena Muszyńska (Vienna, Austria)
