Director of research emeritus at Ined


Methodology and Epistemology in Social
Sciences:


Reflections on the different forms of
causality, on the methods used for approaching
them, on the different paradigms proposed, on
the different aggregate levels at which the
phenomenon can be compared and on the
epistemological bases of demography.



Paleodemography:


To estimate an age structure with biological
indicators, but without measuring it, there are
numerous methods under doubtful hypotheses.We
examine critically these methods and propound a
fully bayesian approach which permits to avoid
the major part of these criticims.
