INTRODUCTION

English translation pending.

CORE DEFINITION

The analysis of the time pattern of an event's occurrence, that is, which factors shape its timing and its probability. As a scaffold it is causal analysis with a time lens: do not ask only whether it happens, but when it happens, and how the probability of it happening changes over time.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

- Event define: fix what counts as the event, and where the clock starts. - Time gather: collect the timing data and the covariates that ride along with it. - Model fit: estimate the hazard with a Cox model and read the coefficients.

Anchor fast decisions

It follows individual cases over time to see whether and when the event occurs for each one, and fits survival and hazard models to estimate the probability of occurrence and the factors that shape it.

Demographic Transition

Demographic transition refers to the phenomenon in which a country or region transitions from a pre-industrial economic system to an industrialized economic system, often accompanied by a transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates. This theory was proposed by American demographer Warren Thompson in 1929, who observed and studied the changes or transitions in birth and death rates in industrialized societies over the past two centuries.
