Howeve he fc h hese bihs e no included in he Peinl Sisics is poenil poblem becuse women who op fo n ou-of-hospil bih diffe in sevel wys fom ohe women.

7 3 Vibles nd Cses 3.1 Definiion of Vibles Since he QUAG nd he Peinl Sisics e he simil ll vibles h we equie fo ou invesigion e vilble in boh d ses. The following vibles hve been used: Age bih ws defined s he diffeence beween ye of bih of mohe nd ye of bih of he child lso known s ge eched duing he ye. Regionl specs wee ken ino ccoun by disinguishing Esen Gemny nd Wesen Gemny. Esen Gemny is hee defined s Esen Gemny including he enie ciy of elin. Wesen Gemny does no include elin. 6 The ode of bih ws consuced by dding one o he numbe of pio live bihs. One spec h equied specil enion concens he muliple bihs. Fo singleons he bih ode cn be geneed by simply dding one o he numbe of peviously live-bon childen. This segy needed o be modified fo muliple bihs becuse he numbes of peviously bon childen do no ke ino ccoun he cuen bih. In ohe wods if womn gives bih o wins nd does no hve ny pio childen he numbe of pevious live bihs is zeo in he Peinl Sisics. If we would pply he sme segy s fo singleons we would ssign eoneously boh childen he bih ode one. We coeced his bis by ssigning one of he wins o bih ode one while he ohe one coesponds o bih ode wo Excluded bihs Only smll numbe of bihs hd o be omied fom he w d in boh d ses see Tble 4. This peins o bihs wih missing infomion on he ye of bih of he child. We lso deleed cses whee he mohe s ge childbih ws below ge 11 o bove ge 50 s we ssumed h hese cses wee mosly miscoding. Fuhemoe in he QUAG Sisics hee wee lso some cses wih missing infomion eihe on he numbe of pio live-bon childen o on he ge of he mohe which wee omied oo. 8 In ol we deleed We do no povide ny esimes by fedel lnd. The eson is h we equie he numbe of bihs fom he vil sisics o genee he weighing fco. Howeve hee is disgeemen beween he vil nd he Peinl Sisics in epoing bihs by egion. In he vil sisics he bihs e ssigned ccoding o he plce of esidence of he mohe. In he Peinl Sisics bihs e ssigned ccoding o he plce of bih of he child. Thee e some women who migh no give bih in he sme fedel se s hey e living in. This picully pplies o women in ndenbug who fequenly choose o give bih in hospil in elin. We fis geneed mse ble h conined he numbe of ll childen by ode ge nd egion. Then we geneed muliple bih ble h conined muliple bihs by ode ge nd egion. Finlly fom he mse ble we subced hlf of ll muliple bihs of given ode. These childen wee hen dded o he couns of he nex bih ode. Fo simpliciy we ssumed h ll muliple bihs e win bihs. 8 The Peinl Sisics conined sevel cses wih missing infomion on pio live bihs. These wee ll ccoding o infomion fom he QS nullipous women. We conduced some consisency checks in which we ook ino ccoun infomion on he pegnncy hisoy of he women. This consisency 6

We used his d o check how well he Peinl Sisics nd he QUAG Sisics cove ll hospil nd ou-of hospil bihs in Gemny see Tble 2 nd Tble 3. Howeve when we ied o genee weighs we n ino poblem. Fo geneing weighs see below we equied he bih couns fom he Gemn Sisicl Office. A he ime when we woe his ppe we only hd ccess o bih couns by single ges fo he ge nge The bihs fo he ges below 15 nd bove 45 wee povided in ems of open inevls below ge 15 nd bove ge 45. As we wee unsue how o genee weighs fo he open inevls we decided o omi hese ges fom he fuhe nlysis.
