Geography, Health, and the Pace of Demo-Economic Development
Strulik, Holger - 2007
This paper investigates the impact of subsistence consumption and extrinsic and intrinsic causes of child mortality on fertility and child expenditure. It offers a theory for why mankind multiplies at higher rates at geographically unfavorable, tropical locations. Placed into a macroeconomic...

The Physiological Foundations of the Wealth of Nations
Dalgaard, Carl-Johan; Strulik, Holger - 2011
In the present paper we advance a theory of pre-industrial growth where body size and population size are endogenously determined. Despite the fact that parents invest in both child quantity and productivity enhancing child quality, a take-off does not occur due to a key physiological check: if...

Subsistence: A Bio-economic Foundation of the Malthusian Equilibrium
Strulik, Holger; Dalgaard, Carl-Johan - 2007
This paper develops a bio-economic Malthusian growth model. By integrating recent research on allometric scaling, energy consumption, and ontogenetic growth we provide a model where subsistence consumption is endogenously linked to body mass and fertility. The theory admits a two-dimensional...
