Abstract

We omit Whelpton’s adjustments for underenumeration of children in the census and his discussion of immigration levels, and limit the analysis to his discussion of the non-immigrant white population.

From Journal of the American Statistical Association 31. Excerpts are from pages 457–459, 461–463, 465–471, 473.
