Data from 63 selected countries of the world at two different points in time, 1958 and 1968, are used to test a path model in which infant mortality acts as an intermediate variable between two composite indicators of economic and social development and the fertility rate. The model is tested with both cross‐sectional and longitudinal data. In order to ascertain the appropriate time dimension in which the independent variables influence the trends of fertility, the results from an instantaneous model are compared with those from a lagged effect model
