Summary:Imhoff and Keilman respond to John Bongaarts and Griffith Feeney's adjustment procedure, demonstrating that is not capable of isolating the pure quantum effect of year-to-year changes in fertility. Their critique focuses on two points: Cohort-specific changes in timing are much more complex than Bongaarts and Feeney assume, and the Bongaarts and Feeney method is based on unsuitable fertility measures.
