This dissertation revisits the age-period-cohort (APC) models approach and suggests new avenues for cohort analysis. The first essay integrates new developments in methods for the estimation of APC models into a Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM) framework that can be applied across three commonly employed research designs. These include the Intrinsic Estimator for analysis of population level tabular data, the hierarchical APC (HAPC) analysis of micro repeated cross-sectional data, and accelerated longitudinal data. The second essay conducts a new APC analysis of adult cause-specific mortality in the U.S. using the Intrinsic Estimator method that simultaneously accounts for the age, period, and cohort effects. It highlights the importance of cohort effects in explaining recent mortality trends for both sexes and four leading causes of deaths. The third essay introduces linear mixed-effects models for APC analysis of repeated cross-sectional sample surveys. It shows how cross-classified random effects models can be used to shed new light on recent debates in the sociological literature regarding intercohort declines in verbal ability. The fourth essay addresses a long-standing problem in research on the association of aging and depression. The analysis employs growth curve models to examine age growth trajectories of depression over time and across multiple cohorts. Taken all together, the dissertation shows that empirical applications of the APC models and methods recently developed by Yang and colleagues yield new scientific findings of importance to improving the quality of life in the United States. These contributions should stimulate numerous future methodological developments and substantive research.
