Parental education and child health
Location of Firms within a Square Central Business District
In a square central business district (CBD), with rectilinear (east-west and north-south) travel, production is assumed to require face-to-face transactions between firms. Each firm's locational decision therefore reflects travel costs between that location and all other CBD locations. The assumption that firms are uniformly distributed permits an analytical solution: rent contours are circular and office rent declines as the square of the radial…
Microeconomic Aspects of the Demographic Transition
Using the von Neumann-Morgenstern approach to the theory of decision making under uncertainty, this paper shows that a broad decline in mortality rates should lead parents to substitute children for other goods and durable quality attributes of children for quantity of children. Further, if quantity is interpreted as survivors to maturity, the demographic transition--a sufficient decline in birth rates to reestablish a low population growth rate-…
Mortality risks, sequential decisions on births, and population growth
The population growth rates implied by parental attempts to be highly certain of having a surviving son for old-age support are investigated. At life expectancies of 40 to 65 years, family-planning “strategies” using contraception are found to imply markedly lower growth rates (1.01.5 percent vs. 2.5 percent) than are both commonly observed and also previously derived by Heer and Smith. In contrast to strategies relying only on sterilization, con…
