Fertility and Modernity [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
AbstractWe investigate the determinants of the fertility decline in Europe from 1830 to 1970 using a newly constructed data set of linguistic distances between European regions. The decline resulted from the gradual diffusion of new fertility behaviour from French-speaking regions to the rest of Europe.
