Abstract

This chapter, Growth and Population with Wealth and Human Capital, models population growth in a framework of growth with endogenous human and physical capital accumulation with an alternative approach to the behavior of households. This chapter analyzes the link among education, saving, physical and human capital accumulation, and population. The physical capital accumulation is built on the Solow growth model. The education and human capital accumulation are influenced by the Uzawa-Lucas model. The population dynamics are influenced by the Haavelmo population model and the Barro-Becker fertility choice model. This chapter synthesizes these dynamic forces in a compact framework. Section 4.1 introduces the basic model with wealth accumulation and human capital accumulation with government subsidy on education. Section 4.2 examines the model’s dynamic properties. Section 4.3 examines how a rise in the mortality rate parameter affects the system. Section 4.4 analyzes the impact of a rise in the propensity to have children on the system. Section 4.5 shows how a rise in the propensity to receive education changes the dynamic behavior of the model. Section 4.6 analyzes the effects of a rise in the human capital utilization efficiency on the system. Section 4.7 studies a rise in the mortality rate elasticity of human capital.
