Tepper, Alexander; Borowiecki, Karol Jan - 2013
This paper develops a simple dynamic model to examine the breakout from a Malthusian economy to a modern growth regime. It identifies several factors that determine the fastest rate at which the population can grow without engendering declining living standards; this is termed maximum...

Fuel for economic growth?
Gars, Johan; Olovsson, Conny - 2015
We set up an endogenous growth model in which the efficiency of both capital and fossil energy can be improved, whereas the efficiency of one alternative energy source is limited. With capital and energy as complements, there exist two steady states: one stagnant where energy is fully derived...

Malthus and the Industrial Revolution : Evidence from a Time-Varying VAR
Rathke, Alexander - 2014
In the process of economic development economies grow through various regimes, each characterized by different demographic-economic interactions. The changes in these interactions are key elements in different explanations of the escape from Malthusian stagnation. We employ time-varying vector...

Tepper, Alexander - 2010
The first part of this paper develops a simple dynamic model to examine the takeoff, or breakout, from a Malthusian economy to a modern growth regime. It finds that several factors, most notably the rate of technological progress and the economic structure, determine the fastest rate at which...
