The debate about tempo and quantum in demographic estimation is not well covered in textbooks. The seminal set of papers on tempo adjustments for period measures of fertility is the 1998 article by Bongaarts and Feeney and its accompanying correspondence in Population and Development Review. The edited volume "How Long Do We Live: Demographic Models and Reflections on Tempo Effects" (Barbi, Bongaarts and Vaupel, eds.) contains a number of important papers on the mortality tempo effect, including the one by Vaupel that is invoked in the session.
