Endogenous fertility, multiple growth paths, and economic convergence
Article Abstract:
The Cass-Koopmans optimal growth model hypothesizes that a common standard of living will be reached by countries. The model is extended to incorporate fertility decisions. It is shown that a stable equilibrium can be achieved when there are economies of scale in having children. The net rate of return on capital may not be decreasing monotonically in capital if fertility rates are chosen.
