Abstract
Pseudo-stable and quasi-stable population models were developed by Feichtinger (1979), Coale (1972), Dinkel (1989) and others. Building on an article by Bennett and Horiuchi (1981), Preston and Coale (1982), Arthur and Vaupel (1984), and Kim (1986) further extended these models to
develop general relationships for arbitrary population surfaces over age and time. In the spirit of Feichtinger and these other demographers, we present and prove in this chapter some formulas that capture the impact of mortality improvement on population growth. Goldstein and Schlag (forthcoming) also investigate this question but from a different perspective.
