Offering bonuses for reduced fertility
The performance of population programmes suggests that even the more successful ones have acceptance rates that are only a fifth or so of what is needed to reduce population growth rates to the 1% a year that permits significant improvements in income per head. It is also clear that no programmes use bonuses at anything approaching the monetary values per recipient that are justifiable. There is no guarantee that such bonuses will produce the num…

Economic Worth of preventing death at different ages in developing countries
Public health programmes in less developed countries lack the resources to care for more than a very small fraction of their populations. Medical care is allocated almost by accident, with those living near a clinic usually obtaining the best care. Preferably, such care should be rationed among people according to a more explicit and justifiable criterion, and such a criterion could have an economic basis. Economically, it is more important to pr…
Old Age Security with Fewer Children
Less developed countries can promote reduced fertility and slower population growth while still supporting the idea of old age security through children. If parents have enough children to provide a high probability of one surviving until the father is age 65 they will have had many children even if the father has a vasectomy once having reached the larger family size. The interval between generations will be short and natural increase rapid. Ins…

Leibenstein on the benefits and costs of birth control programmes
Enke draws attention particularly to his recent dynamic models of the effects of birth prevention. He argues that the result of birth prevention is, typically, to leave future G.N.P. almost unaffected, with a smaller population and a reduction in the ratio of dependent children to the active age groups. G.N.P. per head is thus raised. Leibenstein accepts the relevance of population control and family planning programmes. He argues, however, that …
Effect of fewer births on average income
This study analyses, for the dynamic economy of a typical less developed country (LDC), the significance for economic development over 30 years of gradual reductions in age-specific fertility rates (assumed to result from a government-supported birth reduction campaign). The computer results, using parameters typical of poorer LDCs, include the following: 1. A modest birth control programme, costing perhaps 30 cents a year per head of national po…

The Gains to India From Population Control
RECENT surveys of population growth in RIndia and the slow progress of the Second Five Year Plan confirm the awful suspicion that India's extra consumer-goods output will be needed for extra population. Some Indians accordingly wonder if the central government should not now institute a program of incentive payments to families that limit births. This would be a logical evolution of schemes already developed in India, where three states and one l…

An Economist Looks at Air Force Logistics
JUST as some economists are accustomed to examine the operations of business and agriculture, a few have, for some years now, been scrutinizing the operations of the military services. In this work many of the attitudes and techniques of economists have proved to be most valuable. The application of some of these techniques in the analysis of some aspects of the logistics support of the United States Air Force may be of interest to economists
More on the Misuse of Mathematics in Economics
A YEAR ago and for another audience, my ET friend David Novick wrote a short piece on the misuse of mathematics in which piece has rather unexpectedly been made the center of controversy.1 Under the circumstances, a rejoinder, and perhaps a more specific restatement of some of Novick's criticisms, is in order. As I share many of his misgivings regarding some economics, 2 and because, as colleagues, we could readily confer on this rejoinder, the f…
