The Effect of Interventions to Reduce Fertility on Economic Growth

The goal in this research is to quantitatively analyze the economic effects of interventions that reduce fertility in a developing country. Concretely, the authors ask how economic measures such as GDP per capita would compare in the case where some exogenous change reduces fertility to the case where no such exogenous change takes place. The answer to this question will be very different from simply observing the natural co-evolution of fertility and economic development.
