IntroductionData and DefinitionsEvidence of ConcernEmpirical StrategyFindingsConclusionAcknowledgmentsPrevious Literature on IMR EstimationThe Brass (1964) and Trussell (1975) methods (and versions derived from them) have been the most widely used early techniques for correcting the IMR so that it may be comparable across countries and reflect as little discrepancy as possible.

In Stage 1, we adjust the LFD-END ratio to avoid the discrepancies demonstrated in Figs. 2 (panel a) Previous Literature on IMR EstimationThe Brass (1964) and Trussell (1975) methods (and versions derived from them) have been the most widely used early techniques for correcting the IMR so that it may be comparable across countries and reflect as little discrepancy as possible.
