We explore the optimal fertility age-pattern in a four-period OLG economy with physical capital accumulation. For that …'s Serendipity Theorem still holds. Finally, we study the dynamics and social optimum of an economy with interior fertility rates … during the reproduction period. It is shown that various fertility age-patterns are compatible with the social optimum, as …

We examine the pathways by which gender inequality affects fertility and hampers growth. We introduce several … characterize a Malthusian corner regime which is characterized by strong gender inequality in education and high fertility. We find … regime while reducing the wage gender gap lowers fertility only in countries which have already escaped from it. The key …

This paper develops a theory of optimal fertility behavior under mortality shocks. In a 3- periods OLG model, young … adults determine their optimal fertility, labor supply and life-cycle consumption with both exogenous child and adult … shocks raise fertility due to insurance and life-cycle mechanisms respectively. In general equilibrium, adult mortality …
