Happiness and Childbearing Across Europe (2012, background): “One strand considers children as an investment good (Neher, 1971; Leibenstein, 1975; Caldwell, 1978; Boldrin and Jones, 2002).”
Child mortality and fertility decline: Does the Barro-Becker model fit the facts? (2002, background): “Falling mortality rates tend to lower the cost of having a surviving child, hence fertility actually increases, not decreases, as mortality declines (this is discussed in Boldrin and Jones 2002 and Fern´andez-Villaverde 2001).”
Efficiency with Endogenous Population Growth (2007, background): “(See Becker and Barro (1988), Barro and Becker (1989), Raut (1990), Doepke (2001), Fernandez-Villaverde (2001), Boldrin and Jones (2002), and Tertilt (2004).”

Life expectancy and economic growth: the role of the demographic transition (2011, unknown): “…include Kalemli-Ozcan (2002), which also explicitly shows that changes in fertility may lead to non-monotonicities in income per capita growth, Boldrin and Jones (2002), Kalemli-Ozcan (2003), Soares (2005), Strulik (2008) and Bar and Leukhina (2010); see Galor (2005, 2010) for comprehensive…”

How do epidemics induce behavioral changes? (2009, unknown): “Most papers have focused on the impact on fertility choices of either an increasing infant mortality (Sah 1991; Kalemli-Ozcan 2002; Boldrin and Jones 2002; Doepke 2005) or a decreasing lifespan (Zhang and Zhang 2005; Hazan and Zoabi 2006), while our model encases both phenomena within a single frame”
Supplemental Notes to "Demographic transition and industrial revolution: A macroeconomic investigation" (2009, background): “The time cost may increase due to changes such as a declining contribution of children to family production with the shift away from agriculture, the rise in the value of female time (Galor and Weil, 1996, Lagerlof, 2003), introduction of child labor laws and education reforms (Doepke, 2004, Doepke ”
The Economic and Demographic Transition, Mortality, and Comparative Development (2013, unknown): “(3)Boldrin and Jones (2002) consider exogenous changes in child mortality in a model of children caring for their parents to generate a transition in income growth and fertility.”
