... are remarkably consistent and strongly suggest that the population and economic dynamics in Northern Italy are captured by the Malthusian model described in the second section. The following equations demonstrate a simple economic model that captures the main elements of Malthusian theory. Consider a one...

...). This article exploits these relations to in- vestigate the role of selective and nonselective forces on the demographic history of human populations. This article is organized as follows: In the next section I briefly describe the dynamical changes in the Malthusian parameter and population entropy under...

... Malthusian models to understand Ireland's pre-Famine economy. Our analysis also explores population dynamics. While the 1821 census report does not provide a one-for-one match of civil parishes in 1841 (mainly owing to boundary changes in the interim and to missing data for some parishes; J. Lee 1981...

... parameter and the standard demographic parameters. INTRODUCTION In the analyses of the dynamics of hu- man populations, demographers have fo- cused on the Malthusian parameter rand the life expectation eas the crucial param- eters that describe the adaptive properties of the population. The Malthusian pa...

.... If fertility is influenced by emulation there is positive feedback, as Brian Arthur argues. Positive feedback would likewise result from the historic interaction of Malthusian and Boserupian forces. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Human population dynamics, at least until the past century, have probably been governed...

... the problem of rapid population growth, both its determinants and conse- quences, in its full complexity. Howev- er, few of us made more than mild pro- test as the profession was borne to prominence on a Malthusian tide of alarm. The rhetorical build-up, the pro- liferation of organizations, and the mobi...

... will be the demographic response? asked Malthus. He distinguished two possibilities. One was a rapid increase in population, "in which case, the high wages are chiefly spent in the maintenance of large and frequent families." This was the demographic outcome that imparted a dominant pessimistic coloration to Malthusian...

... that there is an obvious and fundamental distinction be- tween Malthusian and Transition The- ories and that consequently Transition Theory must be forcing. Undoubtedly these population projec- tions are known to both Kammeyer and Skidmore. And as they chose not to attack the obvious counter which they can expect from us...

... a positive effect on economic growth (Boserup-type influences may dominate Malthusian diminishing returns); and 3) demographic processes matter considerably, but in complex ways. At the simplest level, for the 30-year panel, population growth exerts a large negative effect on economic growth (Col. I, joint...

One group advances an interpretation of Marxism which recognizes the existence of a population problem and argues that something must be done now to solve the problem. The second group maintains the traditional Marxist anti-Malthusian argu- ment. The dialogue has...

The crisis was high fertility and the resulting rapid...

...Kenneth W. Wachter; Ronald D. Lee Abstract Lee’s (1974) formal demographic feedback models summarize the implications for births and age-structure of neo-Malthusian theories of baby booms such as those of Easterlin. For some parameter values, such models imply sustained cycles, so-called “limit...

... in the usage of "desire," this appears to be the only alternative open. But before such a move is made, its consequences should be con- sidered carefully. We have not formulated a rigorous definition of either Malthusian or Lo- gistic Theory. Consequently we are not fully prepared to discuss the logical char...
