Abstract

We use small area Bayesian statistics to develop a model for age-specific fertility rates. The model is then used to estimate age-specific fertility rates and total fertility rates at the regional NUTS III area level for Portugal. The paper makes important contributions to small area Bayesian statistics in a spatial domain focusing on estimation of fertility rates. The estimates obtained are useful for demographic policy in Portugal.
