New Developments in Irish Population History, 1700-1850
这篇综述梳理了学界对肯尼斯·康奈尔经典著作《爱尔兰人口》的后续研究,包括修正其人口估算、重新评估生育率、死亡率与移民对1700年至大饥荒期间人口增长的影响。
For many years Kenneth Connells classic Population of Ireland has been a major source of inspiration to historians and demographers. The resulting research which has either elaborated or criticized Connells work is the subject of this survey. An explanation of the logic underlying recent revisions of Connells often quoted pre-censal estimates is followed by a reassessment of the role of shifts in fertility mortality and emigration in accounting for the course of population growth between 1700 and the great Famine.
