Following up on Horiuchi and Coale (Population Studies 36: 317-326, 1982), Mitra (Population Studies 38: 313-319, 1984, Population Studies 39: 511–512, 1985), and Coale (Population Studies 39: 507–509, 1985), we examine the conventional approaches to constructing life tables from data deficient at advanced ages and the two adjustment methods by the mentioned authors. Contrary to earlier reports by Horiuchi, Coale, and Mitra, we show that the two methods are consistent and useful in drastically reducing the estimation errors in life expectancy as compared to the conventional approaches, i.e., the classical open age interval model and extrapolation of the death rates. Our results suggest complementing the classical estimates of life expectancy by adjustments using Horiuchi-Coale, Mitra, or other appropriate methods and avoiding the extrapolation method as a tool for estimating the life expectancy. 2018-02-04 published Comitato italiano per lo studio dei problemi della popolazione 10.1186/s41118-018-0029-7 76 public Genus 74 1 TRUE 2035-5556 Reassessing Ageing from a Population Perspective (RE-AGEING, FP7 323947) FALSE yes info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/323947/EU/Reassessing Ageing from a Population Perspective/RE-AGEING info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
