Mortality and Early Growth in England, France and Sweden
构建了一个包含内生生育率和死亡率的随机开放经济增长模型,并用英格兰、法国和瑞典的工业化前死亡率数据校准,解释了死亡率波动差异和工业革命发生时间的早晚。
Abstract We set up a stochastic open‐economy growth model with endogenous fertility and mortality. A three‐country version of the model is calibrated to pre‐industrial mortality data from England, France and Sweden. By fitting parameters to match observed rates of correlation in mortality rates, the model can also account for differences in both the volatility of mortality rates and the timing of the Industrial Revolution.
