Summary: | This file provides the necessary input data (crude vital rates) and shows the calculations for the indirect estimation of life expectancy at birth (e0) formales and females combined, using the method developed in McCann, J. 1976. 'A Technique for Estimating Life Expectancy with Crude Vital Rates', Demography, 13(2): pp. 259-272. Coverage:Sweden (1736-1750), Norway (1735-1845), Denmark (1800-1834), Iceland (1735-1837), and Finland (1751-1877). The annual estimates end in the year before estimates in the Human Mortality Database become available. For a detailed description see Torres, C. and Oeppen, J. 2019.
