In this chapter we revisit the relationship between income and fertility. There is
overwhelming empirical evidence that fertility is negatively related to income in most
countries at most times. Several theories have been proposed in the literature to explain ...

Economic demographers have long analyzed fertility cycles. This paper builds a foundation
for these cycles in a model of fertility choice with dynastic altruism and aggregate shocks. It
is shown that under reasonable parameter values, fertility is pro-cyclical and that, ...

Abstract Married female labor supply in terms of participation as well as hours worked has
increased tremendously throughout the twentieth century. I show that one remarkable
feature of this increase is that it has occurred simultaneously throughout their husband's ...

Here we show that the utility function used in Lucas (2002), a special case of Razin and Ben-
Zion (1975)'s utility function using log utility, is also a special case of the Becker and Barro
(1988) and Barro and Becker (1989) utility function. 1 Define ψ such that ψ≡ η 1-σ

Abstract Life-cycle employment profiles of married women born between 1940 and 1960
shifted upwards and became flatter. We calibrate a dynamic life-cycle model of employment
decisions of married women to assess the quantitative importance of three competing ...

Abstract Over the period from 1964 to 2003, married female employment almost doubled
from 40 per cent in 1964 to 71 per cent in 2003. Disaggregated by age and education,
changes were most pronounced during childbearing ages and increasing in education ...

Is there an economic rationale for pronatalist policies? In this paper we propose and analyze
a particular market failure that may lead to inefficiently low equilibrium fertility and therefore
to a need for government intervention. The friction we investigate is related to the ...

Abstract The Barro-Becker model is a simple intuitive model of fertility choice. In its original
formulation, however, it has not been very successful at reproducing the changes in fertility
choice in response to decreased mortality and increased income growth that ...

Is there an economic rationale for pronatalist policies? We propose and analyze a particular
market failure that leads to inefficiently low fertility in equilibrium. The friction is caused by
the lack of ownership of children: if parents have no claim on their children's income, the ...
Abstract After the fall in fertility during the Demographic Transition, many developed
countries experienced a baby bust, followed by the Baby Boom and subsequently a return to
low fertility. Received wisdom from the Demography literature links these large ...

Abstract I investigate the problem of small sample biases, when using Maximum Likelihood
(ML) versus Moments (MOM) to estimate the parameters of a simple search model from
accepted wage and duration (to first job) data only. Using a Monte Carlo (MC) procedure I ...

experienced a baby bust, followed by the baby boom and subsequently a return to low
fertility. Demographers have linked these large fluctuations in fertility to the series of ' ...

Abstract This paper studies the quantitative effects of changes in fertility patterns and relative
wages, on changes in employment of married women born between 1940 and 1960. We
explore three channels linking these factors to employment decisions in a life-cycle model ...

Abstract We study the quantitative effects of changes in timing of births, the decrease in
fertility levels, and the increase in the relative wage of women to men, in levels and returns

Abstract In the demography literature, the large 20th century fluctuations in fertility have often
been linked to the series of 'economic shocks' that occurred with similar timing–the Great
Depression, World War II (WWII), the economic expansion that followed and then the ...

Fertility is negatively correlated with economic development. It is very high, as high as seven
children per women, in developing countries; and extremely low in many rich countries,
often well below the replacement rate. Fertility rates are often discussed by policy-makers, ...
