BGSU subscribes … let’s get all universities with demographers as well as pop centers and aging centers to make this happen!

submitted 13 days ago • 0 comments

Hi Carl, John T here. A subscription is to gain OA for a given institution/library, purchased directly from DUP. When DUP reaches their funding target, DEMO becomes OA for ALL for the 2025 volume. The offset fee ($1000) goes to PAA to cover editing & proofing the ~100 articles published annually.

Now is the time, loyal readers! Check whether your institution is a subscriber--and if not, ask your library services or whomever to subscribe NOW so we can go OA. Spread the word!

Our two papers on abortion bans and fertility/infant mortality are now out. In 14 states w/ abortion bans, fertility increased 1.7% and infant mortality increased 6%. Key takeaway is that these impacts were disproportionately felt among those w/ greatest structural disadvantages. Links below.

Occasionally, extremely important research gets far less attention than it should. I’ll call this “citation injustice”. My best example of this is Remler, Korenmann & Hyson’s work on incorporating health insurance into poverty measurement. www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/...
