Life expectancy and economic growth: the role of the demographic transition (2011, unknown): “…the positive effects of life expectancy on income production (abstracting from changes in fertility) include de la Croix and Licandro (1999), Kalemli-Ozcan et al. (2000), Blackburn and Cipriani (2002), Boucekkine et al. (2002), Boucekkine et al. (2003), Lagerlöf (2003), Cervellati and Sunde…”
Long-Term Determinants of the Demographic Transition, 1870–2000 (2013, unknown): “This theory, originally developed by Nerlove (1974) and furthered by Ehrlich and Lui (1991), Kalemli-Ozcan, Ryder, and Weil (2000), Kalemli-Ozcan (2002), and Soares (2005), can be easily extended to the case where parents care not only about surviving children but also about the survival of their…”
A Stochastic Model of Mortality, Fertility and Human Capital Investment (2002, unknown): “In a recent paper, Kalemli-Ozcan et al. (2000), calibrating their model by using returns to schooling estimates, show that mortality decline produces significant increases in schooling.”

Longevity and Life Cycle Savings (2002, unknown): “Kelley and Schmidt (1996) and Leff (1969) use young and old age dependency rates to model age structure, while Higgins (1998) allows the size of each five-year age cohort to have an effect, although he constrains these effects to lie on a low-order polynomial for estimation purposes.”
Early Mortality Declines at the Dawn of Modern Growth (2003, background): “1%, corresponding to Maddison (1982)’s estimations for the period 1500–1700, and with entry into the labor market at age 13, which correspond to T(t)1⁄4 3.”
Endogenous lifetime and economic growth (2004, background): “…analyzed include the effect of longevity improvements on growth and human capital investment (de la Croix and Licandro [8]; Kalemli-Ozcan et al. [14]), and how declines in child mortality alter incentives to have children and induce a demographic transition (Ehrlich and Lui [10]; Meltzer [23]).”
Global Demographic Change: Dimensions and Economic Significance (2004, unknown): “Kalemli-Ozcan, Ryder, and Weil (2000) argue that the effect of improved health and longevity on educational investments has played a large role in economic growth over the last 150 years.15 This incentive effect, however, is clearly linked to the prospective working life rather than total life span”
AIDS, “reversal” of the demographic transition and economic development: evidence from Africa (2011, unknown): “Kalemli-Ozcan et al. (2000) show that 1 percent reduction in mortality leads to 1 percent increase in schooling.”
Mortality, Human Capital and Persistent Inequality (2003, unknown): “6 savings on the market; in effect she receives an unintended bequest amounting to st, instead of Rst.9 Note that, unlike much of the literature on mortality risks (such as Yaari, 1965, Chakraborty, 1999, Kalemli-Ozcan et al., 2000), we do not assume the existence of perfect annuities markets here.”
