Geography, Health, and Demo-Economic Development
This paper investigates the interactive impact of subsistence consumption and child mortality on fertility choice and child expenditure. In a macro-economic framework it proposes an indirect channel of geography’s influence on economic performance. It explains why it are the world’s unfavorably located regions where we observe exceedingly slow (if not stalled) economic development and demographic transition.
