The second chapter specifies how a Lexis diagram is constructed and shows that cohorts are depicted on the 45∘ line. It briefly discusses the so-called identification problem of standard methods of age-, period-, and cohort analysis and explains how those effects look like in the Lexis diagram. The chapter concludes with a brief history of the depiction of population dynamics in three dimensions.
