Heterogeneity in the long-run effect of fertility on economic growth
| Resumo: | Empirical studies generally found that higher fertility has either a negative or insignificant impact on economic growth. Although studies examining the long-term effects of fertility on growth are scarce, they have shown consistent positive effects across various robustness checks. This study examines whether these effects are homogeneous. The results suggest that the effect is heterogeneous across countries with different initial fertility rates as well as countries of different geographies. |
