Recent Technological and Economic Change among Industrialized Countries: Insights from Population Growth*
研究1975-1997年间工业化国家人口增长差异如何影响经济表现，发现低成年人口增长国家更快采用资本密集型技术，从而在不损害人均产出增长的情况下减少工作时间。
Abstract Cross‐country observations on the effects of population growth are used to show why differences in rates of growth in working‐age population may be a key to understanding differences in economic performance across industrialized countries over the period 1975–1997 versus 1960–1974. In particular, we argue that countries with lower rates of adult population growth adopted new capital‐intensive technologies more quickly than their high population growth counterparts, therefore allowing them to reduce their work time without deterioration of growth in output‐per‐adult.
