The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Invariant Causal Prediction for Nonlinear Models (2017, background): “The importance of infant mortality rate and under-ﬁve mortality rate on fertility rates is highlighted, reconﬁrming previous studies that have shown or hypothesized these factors to be important (Hirschman, 1994; Raftery et al., 1995).”
Explaining fertility: The potential for integrative approaches (2015, background): “The population in Eastern-Germany accepted a burden clearly above average to bring up at least one child” (Hirschman 1994: 221).”
Morocco's Migration Experience: A Transitional Perspective (2007, background): “Also the demographic transition, and associated mortality and fertility declines, have shown considerable diversity in different historical and geographical settings (Hirschman, 1994).”
Migration transitions: A theoretical and empirical inquiry into the developmental drivers of international migration (2010, background): “Also the demographic transition has shown considerable diversity in different historical and geographical settings (Hirschman 1994).”
Reproductive Behavior and Personality Traits of the Five Factor Model (2011, unknown): “…of fertility decision is connected with the broader themes of demographic transition and population dynamics, especially with the causes of declining fertility rates in developed countries over the last century (Borgerhoff Mulder, 1998; Hirschman, 1994; Kirk, 1996; Mace, 2000; Soares, 2005).”
