Population, population density, and technological change
Klasen, Stephan; Nestmann, Thorsten - 2004
In a model on population and endogenous technological change, Kremer combines a short-run Malthusian scenario where income determines the population that can be sustained, with the Boserupian insight that greater population spurs technological change and can therefore lift a country out of its...
