  • Economic Decision Theory and Human Fertility Behavior

    Harvey LeibensteinARTICLEPopulation and Development Review1981Citada por: 8

    Almost all explanations of human fertility have some decision making concepts at their base. This is necessary if choice is in some way involved in fertility determination and if nondecisions are viewed as decisions i.e. as a type of passive choice making. All of this is particularly clear in economic theories of human fertility. Maximization is the explicit decision making criterion and forms the central element of such theories. In this specula…

  • Beyond Economic Man

    Harvey LeibensteinARTICLEPopulation and Development Review1977

    In its simplest form, conventional microeconomic theory assumes two decision-making entities-households and firms. Households are presumed to operate rationally, which is interpreted by the postulate, to maximize utility, or satisfaction; and firms are presumed to operate rationally-that is, to maximize profits and to minimize costs. In many situations, however, the theory of maximization does not explain or predict actual behavior: it cannot exp…

  • The Problem of Characterizing Aspirations

    Harvey LeibensteinARTICLEPopulation and Development Review1976Citada por: 3

    Analysis of population changes shows an intergenerational echo effect where the nurture environment of 1 generation effects the tastes for goods and children in the subsequent generation. Taste can be viewed as a function of 3 variables: individual characteristics nurture and peer group influences. Standard economics center on individual characteristics however nurture effects determine aspirations as to the standard of living and ultimate family…

  • Effort-Wage Relations, Choice of Technique, and the Urban Employment-Absorption Problem

    Open AccessHarvey LeibensteinARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…1975Referências: 3

    The paper deals with some determinants of urban labor-supply absorption. This paper challenges the usual view of wage rate as an equilibrating mechanism whereby unemployment leads to lower wages which in turn encourage the introduction of more labor-intensive capital that increases demand for labor. The rational reasons for the introduction of laborsaving equipment even under conditions of unemployment is derived by considering the concept of eff…

  • A final remark on pitfalls

    Harvey LeibensteinARTICLEPopulation Studies1971

    I agree that criticism is relatively easy. Further, I should like to repeat that the contributions made by Enke and others in calculating cost-benefit estimates have been stimulating. However, at a time when the so-called 'population explosion' has become a hot topic in the mass media and elsewhere there is some danger of overselling the results. To me it seems that relatively little criticism has been ventured in the past. Of course, I cannot pr…

  • More on Pitfalls

    Harvey LeibensteinARTICLEPopulation Studies1970Citada por: 2

    The issue of whether benefit-cost calculations (B/C approach) is a way of coming up with sound reasons for determining the incidence and extent of expenditures on population programs is discussed. The author believes the B/C approach as advocated is not yet perfected to a point where it is on a sound basis. The central difficulty of the B/C approach is the lack of a social welfare function which is meaningful in considering differences in populat…

  • Leibenstein on the benefits and costs of birth control programmes

    Enke, Stephen Enke et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1970Referências: 1

    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 …

  • Allocative Efficiency, X-Efficiency and the Measurement of Welfare Losses

    William S Comanor, Harvey LeibensteinARTICLEEconomica1969Citada por: 8

  • Pitfalls in benefit-cost analysis of birth prevention

    Harvey LeibensteinARTICLEPopulation Studies1969Citada por: 1

    The paper summarizes the procedure usually employed by Enke, Meier and others to estimate the benefit-cost ratio of a prevented birth. Some possible deficiencies in the formulation, the possible lack of relevance of the resulting computations, are considered. For example, since the benefit-cost ratios are exceptionally high they would imply unusually high rates of investment for family planning. The results would also apply for the birth preventi…
