Tempo effect
The tempo effect is a term coined by John Bongaarts and Griffith Feeney for statistics in demography .
impact
It leads to bias in age-specific statistics if the average age changes. If the average age increases, the tempo effect leads to a reduction, and if the average age decreases, it leads to an increase in the period rates. The effect is typical for demographic statistics, which is why tempo-standardized statistics are also calculated. Austria is the first country in the world to introduce a system of regular monthly monitoring of the birth development, which shows the development adjusted for the “tempo effect”.
