The latest version of the PDE model was released in early 1997

This PDE Population Projections software can be used as Population Module in multi-sector Population-Development-Environment (PDE) analysis. This tool can also be used independently of PDE analysis for simple and multi-state population projections in case of several states that interact with each other.

The states can all be defined by the user. They can be regions, educational categories, ethnic or language groups, or other user-defined dimensions. The computer’s memory is the only limit to be number of states that can be dealt by the software. It can easily handle 8-10 distinct states (for 5-year age groups) depending on the length of the projection period and the number of age groups.

Please contact Anne Goujon (goujon@iiasa.ac.at) for further questions.

Installation:
- Unzip the pdesetup.zip file with pkunzip or winzip.
- Double click on setup.exe for a first installation of the PDE Projections on your computer.
