Long-Term Determinants of the Demographic Transition, 1870–2000 (2013, background): “The model belongs to a large family of frameworks where parents trade between quantity and quality of children (Becker, 1981; Barro & Becker, 1989; Galor & Weil, 2000; De la Croix & Doepke, 2003).”
Fertility transitions along the extensive and intensive margins (2014, background): “It is this substitution between quality and quantity at the interior solution that generates a fertility transition (Becker, Murphy, and Tamura 1990; Galor and Weil 1996, 2000).”
Poor institutions, rich mines: resource curse and the origins of the Sicilian mafia (2012, background): “…setting the conditions in which social norms and political institutions have formed (Sokoloff and Engerman (2000); Easterly and Levine (2003); Durante (2009); Nunn and Puga (2012) and Michalopoulos et al. (2010)) or by defining environmental constraints to population growth (Galor and Weil (2000)).”
The long-run impact of human capital on innovation and economic development in the regions of Europe (2018, background): “There is a large literature showing that fertility can have an important effect on growth (e.g., Becker 1981; Barro and Becker 1989; Becker, Murphy, and Tamura 1990; Galor and Weil 1996, 2000; Galor 2012; see also Hippe and Perrin 2017).”
Families in Macroeconomics (2016, positive): “The first theory to fully account for such a transition is Galor and Weil (2000), which is based on the quantity–quality trade-off, a Malthusian constraint due to the role of land in agriculture, and human capital as an engine for growth.”
Fertility Theories: Can They Explain the Negative Fertility-Income Relationship? (2008, neutral): “…example, parental leave policies, the impact 4See, for example, Becker, Murphy, and Tamura (1990), Galor and Weil (1996), Galor and Weil (1999), Galor and Weil (2000), Greenwood and Seshadri (2002), Hansen and Prescott (2002), Boldrin and Jones (2002), Doepke (2004, 2005), Greenwood,…”
The European origins of economic development (2014, result): “Although hardly definitive, the results are more consistent with the GLLS argument that Europeans brought human capital and human capital creating institutions and the Galor and Weil (2000) and Galor, Moav, and Vollrath (2008) emphasis on the role of human capital accumulation in explaining the dive”
Technology clubs, technology gaps and growth trajectories (2008, background): “Galor and Weil (2000) and Galor (2005) have proposed similar formulations where the interaction between human capital and technological change generates different convergence clubs.”
Child Labor, Fertility and Economic Growth (2001, positive): “Exceptions are Galor and Weil (1999, 2000) and Morand (1999a) who model non-monotonic relation between income and fertility.”
Multiple Experiments for the Causal Link between the Quantity and Quality of Children (2010, neutral): “…Boston University, Brown, Harvard, SUNY-Albany, UCL, Pompeu-Fabra, Stanford GSB, The China Center for Economic Research, The December 2005 Evaluation Conference in Paris, the 2005 SOLE meetings, and the University of Zurich for helpful discussions and comments on earlier versions of this paper.”
