Curriculum Vitae
Research Interest Statement
In recent research, Alberto Palloni conducted the first study to consider selection mechanisms arising from early childhood experience as a source of socioeconomic differentials in health and mortality in developed countries. He is also reconstructing adult mortality patterns for Latin American countries from 1850 onwards. He uses a novel procedure to simultaneously assess completeness of death registration and age-specific distortions in observed mortality patterns. This massive estimation exercise will identify new patterns of adult and old age mortality to document a century of Latin American mortality decline.
