"Until the early 1950s the study and analysis of fertility was believed to be outside the scope of economic theory. However, with the extension of economics to account for non-market household behaviour and human capital such analysis has become possible. Several theories on the relationship between economic development and fertility have been proposed. These theories are often tested with multiple regression and areal cross-national data. This paper examines the statistical assumption underlying such models." (SUMMARY IN FRE AND ITA)
直到20世纪50年代初，生育力的研究和分析一直被认为超出了经济理论的范畴。然而，随着经济学的扩展以涵盖非市场家庭行为和人力资本，这种分析已成为可能。已经提出了几种关于经济发展与生育力之间关系的理论。这些理论通常通过多元回归和区域跨国数据进行检验。本文考察了此类模型背后的统计假设。（摘要为法语和意大利语）
