Subsistence: A Bio-economic Foundation of the Malthusian Equilibrium
Strulik, Holger; Dalgaard, Carl-Johan - 2007

Entrepreneurial innovation and sustained long-run growth without weak or strong scale effects
Grossmann, Volker - 2008
R&D-based growth theory suggests that a larger population size raises either the long-run rate of economic growth (strong scale effect) or the level of per capita income (weak scale effect), with far-reaching policy implications. However, for modern times there is little empirical support for...
