Dilution effects, population growth and economic growth under human capital accumulation and endogenous technological change

Bucci, Alberto; Eraydın, Levent; Müller, Moritz - 2018

This paper answers the following two questions: 1) In the data, can we find a dilution effect of population growth also on per-capita human capital investment? If yes, 2) how can we use this fact to explain theoretically the existence of a differential impact of population change on economic...

Population in Factor Accumulation-Based Growth

Bucci, Alberto - 2010

This paper analyzes the conditions under which, within a two-sector endogenous growth model with human and physical capital accumulation but without R&D-driven disembodied technological progress, we can observe an ambiguous effect of population growth on economic growth, as empirical evidence...

Population, Technology, and Growth : From the Malthusian Regime to the Demographic Transition

Galor, Oded; Weil, David N. - 1998

This paper develops a unified model of growth, population, and technological progress that is consistent with long-term historical evidence. The economy endogenously evolves through three phases. In the Malthusian regime, population growth is positively related to the level of income per capita....

Gender equity and the escape from poverty

Prettner, Klaus; Strulik, Holger - 2014

We set up a unified growth model with gender-specific differences in tastes for consumption, fertility, education of daughters and sons, and consider the intra-household bargaining power of spouses. In line with the empirical regularity for less developed countries, we assume that mothers desire...
