''Semi-endogenous growth when population is decreasing''
( 2011, Vol. 31 No.3 )
 
 
The paper analyzes the effect of a negative population growth rate on per capita income growth using a simple model of semi-endogenous growth. It is shown that there is a non-monotonous relationship between population growth rates and long-run per capita income growth rates. Compared to the case of positive population growth the dynamics are richer and depend on the rate of depreciation. Semi-endogenous growth becomes partly endogenous.
 
 
Keywords: negative population growth, semi-endogenous growth
