Large fiscal episodes and sustainable development some international evidence

Aizenman, Joshua; Jinjarak, Yothin; Hien Nguyen; Park, … - 2021

This paper examines the association between episodes of large fiscal impulses (expansions and adjustments) and sustainable development indicators (prosperity, resilience, and inclusivity). We provide country studies of Chile, Poland, South Africa, and Thailand, examining the components of...

Globalization and taste convergence : the cases of wine and beer

Aizenman, Joshua; Brooks, Eileen L. - 2005

data on 38 countries from 1963-2000, there is clear convergence in the consumption of wine relative to beer between 1963 … and 2000. Convergence occurs even more quickly within groups of countries that have a higher degree of integration. A key … converging, several Latin American countries fail to converge. The patterns of convergence are consistent with dynamics of …

Physiological constraints and comparative economic development

Dalgaard, Carl-Johan; Strulik, Holger - 2017

It is a well known fact that economic development and distance to the equator are positively correlated variables in the world today. It is perhaps less well known that as recently as 1500 C.E. it was the other way around. The present paper provides a theory of why the “latitude gradient”...

R&D-driven medical progress, health care costs, and the future of human longevity

Böhm, Sebastian; Grossmann, Volker; Strulik, Holger - 2018

In this paper we set up an overlapping generations model of gerontological founded human aging that takes the interaction between R&D-driven medical progress and access to health care into account. We use the model to explore potential futures of human health and longevity. For the baseline...

Religiosity and long-run productivity growth

Herzer, Dierk; Strulik, Holger - 2016

In this paper, we show, using a panel of developed countries, that there is a long-run negative association between church attendance and total factor productivity (TFP) with predictive causality running from declining church attendance to increasing factor productivity. According to our...

Birth, death, and development : a simple unified growth theory

Strulik, Holger (contributor); Weisdorf, Jacob (contributor) - 2008

This study provides a unified growth theory to correctly predict the initially negative and subsequently positive relationship between child mortality and net reproduction observed in industrialized countries over the course of their demographic transitions. The model captures the intricate...

Takeoffs

Aizenman, Joshua; Spiegel, Mark - 2007

This paper identifies factors associated with takeoff - a sustained period of high growth following a period of stagnation. We examine a panel of 241 stagnation episodesʺ from 146 countries, 54 % of these episodes are followed by takeoffs. Countries that experience takeoffs average 2.3% annual...
