使用汇总数据从1980年，1985年，1990年和1995年CPS和1988年和1995年NSFG调查，我们表明，生育时间的变化发生了不成比例的教育程度较高的白人（相比，教育程度较低，非洲裔美国人）。这种时间上的变化意味着，对于受过大学教育的女性和白人来说，生育率的潜在时期数量要比标准总生育率所显示的要高得多。应用Bongaarts-Feeney模型（1998），我们将观察到的年龄顺序生育率和TFR的种族和教育差异分解为克里思和量子分量。我们发现，一个温和的一部分，教育差异和相当大的一部分种族差异期间生育率可以归因于克里思的差异变化。按种族和教育进行的分析显示了一种明显的相互作用：非裔美国人的高生育率仅限于受教育程度较低的人。
Using pooled data from the 1980, 1985, 1990 and 1995 CPS and 1988 and 1995 NSFG surveys, we show that shifts in fertility timing have occurred disproportionately for the more educated and for whites (compared to the less educated and to African Americans). Such timing shifts imply that the underlying period quantum of fertility is considerably higher for college‐educated women and for whites than suggested by the standard total fertility rate. Applying the Bongaarts‐Feeney model (1998), we decompose observed racial and educational differences in age‐order‐specific fertility rates and TFR into tempo and quantum components. We find that a modest part of educational differences and a substantial part of racial difference in period fertility can be attributed to differential changes in tempo. Analysis by race and education shows a clear interaction: higher fertility among African Americans is confined to the less educated.
