Population dynamics have been studied for cases where the structural parameters, namely the age-specific rates of fertility, mortality, and migration, are fixed. This paper addresses the question of how the system behaves under changing structural parameters. By applying the technique of matrix differentiation, sensitivity functions are derived which link changes in multiregional life-table statistics and in population projections to changes in the age-specific rates. A review of the technique, which may be used for the sensitivity analysis of any matrix model, is given in the appendix. date: 1977-03 date_type: published publisher: SAGE id_number: 10.1068/a090653 creators_browse_id: 1665 full_text_status: none publication: Environment and Planning A volume: 9 number: 6 pagerange: 653-674 refereed: TRUE issn: 0308-518X coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Willekens, F.J.
