Efficiency with Endogenous Population Growth [PDF]
Econometrica, 2004 In this paper, we generalize the notion of Pareto-efficiency to make it applicable to environments with endogenous populations. Two different efficiency concepts are proposed, P-efficiency and A-efficiency.

Functioning of community sanitary complexes in rural India: Insights into selected states
Journal of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Development, 2023 An important component of the Swachh Bharat Mission is the construction of community sanitary complexes (CSCs) to address the unmet need for sanitation for households. The success, however, critically hinges on the operational management of CSCs.

On population growth with catastrophes [PDF]
Stochastic Models, 2022 In this paper we study a particular class of Piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMP's) which are semi-stochastic catastrophe versions of deterministic population growth models. In between successive jumps the process follows a flow describing deterministic population growth. Moreover, at random jump times, governed by state-dependent rates, the

Population, land, and growth [PDF]
Economic Modelling, 2013 Abstract This paper suggests a new explanation for changes in economic and population growth with a long run perspective, emphasizing the role of land in the development process. Starting from a pre-industrialization state called the “Malthusian regime”, land and labor are the main production factors. The size of population is limited by the quantity

THE GROWTH OF POPULATIONS OF PROTOCELLS [PDF]
Processes of Emergence of Systems and Systemic Properties, 2008 the growth of protocells is discussed under different hypotheses (one or more replicators, linear and nonlinear kinetics) using a class of abstract models (Surface Reaction Models). A method to analyze the dynamics of successive protocell generations is presented, and it is applied to the problem of determining whether the duplication times of the ...

Income and Population Growth [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013 Do populations grow as countries become richer? In this study we estimate the effects on population growth of shocks to national income that are plausibly exogenous and unlikely to be driven by technological change. For a panel of over 139 countries spanning the period 1960–2007, we interact changes in international oil prices with countries’ average ...
