Agriculture, Roads, and Economic Development in Uganda (2010, background): “, Echevarria 1995, Echevarria 1997, Kogel and Prskawetz 2001, Irz and Roe 2005, and Kongsamut, Rebelo and Xie 2001. A related set of papers sought to model the structural transformation in a one-sector economy, focusing on the transition from a low-growth or no-growth traditional economy to a modern”
Agricultural development and pro‐poor economic growth in sub‐Saharan Africa: potential and policy (2004, background): “…found a significant relationship between non-agriculture and agriculture growth rates over 1965–80, while sectoral growth models of Matsuyama (1992), Kogel & Prskawetz (2001) and Irz & Roe (2000) show, first, that in a largely agrarian economy agricultural growth is needed to balance population…”
Why England? Demographic factors, structural change and physical capital accumulation during the Industrial Revolution (2006, methodology): “As in Kogel and Prskawetz (2001) , we emphasize the interactions between agricultural productivity and industrial growth — an approach that goes back in economic history to Gilboy (1932).”
Population, food, and knowledge: a simple unified growth theory (2008, background): “An incomplete list of studies includes Boucekkine et al. (2002, 2007), Doepke (2004), Galor and Moav (2002), Galor and Mountford (2008), Hansen and Prescott (2002), Jones (2001), Kögel and Prskawetz (2001), Lucas (2002), Strulik (2003), Tamura (2002), and Weisdorf (2004).”
Demographic transitions: analyzing the effects of mortality on fertility (2008, unknown): “The seminal paper of Galor and Weil (2000) uses a version of this argument while Jones (2001), Kogel and Prskawetz (2001) , and Hansen and Prescott (2002) also put the accent on technological change or economic development, although without featuring a quantity–quality tradeoff.”
The Galor–Weil model revisited: A quantitative exercise (2005, methodology): “At the cost of more complicated algebra, small variations on the functional forms chosen in (16) and (18) can make the difference equation in (20) exhibit multiple steady states.”
