Chu, C. Y. Cyrus,
Population dynamics : a new economic approach / C.Y. Cyrus Chu. - New York : Oxford University Press, 1998. - 1 online resource (xiv, 226 pages) : illustrations
Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-219) and indexes.
Introduction -- Demographic Models and Branching Processes -- Age-Specific Population Models: Steady States and Comparative Statics -- Income-Specific Population Models: Steady States and Comparative Dynamics -- Lineage Extinction and Inheritance Patterns -- Sex Preferences and Two-Sex Models -- Cyclical Patterns of Human Population: Summary of Previous Research -- Attitude-Specific Population Models: Dynamic Custom Evolution -- Occupation-Specific Population Models: Population and Dynastic Cycles -- Easterlin Cycles: Fertility and the Labor Market -- Demographic Transition and Economic Development -- Age-Distribution Dynamics During Demographic Transitions -- Population Size and Early Development. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.
This book fills the gap between the classical supply-side theory of Malthus and the modern demand-side theory of economic demography. Specifically, it investigates the dynamic macroeconomic implications of various static microeconomic-family economic decisions. It is within this framework that Professor Chu studies the income distribution, the attitude composition, the job structure, and the savings (including pensions) of the population. Chu applies a mathematical apparatus, the theory of branching processes, to his problem, and supplies the reader with much detail and several discursive discussions on the topic. Graduate-level students, professors, and professional economists will be interested in Chu's efforts.
