Industrialization and the fertility decline
Franck, Raphaël; Galor, Oded - 2015 - This Version: August 26th, 2015
The research provides the first empirical examination of the hypothesized effect of industrialization on the fertility … establishes that industrialization was a major catalyst in the fertility decline in the course of the demographic transition …. Moreover, the analysis further suggests that the contribution of industrialization to the decline in fertility plausibly …

Human genealogy reveals a selective advantage to moderate fecundity
Galor, Oded; Klemp, Marc P. B. - 2019
This research presents the first evidence that moderate fecundity had maximized long-run reproductive success in the human population. Using a reconstructed genealogy for nearly half a million individuals in Quebec during the 1608-1800 period, we find that while a high fecundity was associated...

Dynamics and stagnation in the Malthusian epoch : theory and evidence
Ashraf, Quamrul (contributor); Galor, Oded (contributor) - 2008
This paper empirically tests the predictions of the Malthusian theory with respect to both population dynamics and income per capita stagnation in the pre-Industrial Revolution era. The theory suggests that improvements in technology during this period generated only temporary gains in income...
