Sex, lies and birth statistics : the mysterious case of the Spanish missing women

Bagues, Manuel F.; Villa, Carmen - 2026

Official Spanish birth registry data report sex ratios well above expected levels between 1975 and 2000, peaking at 109 boys per 100 girls in the early 1980s, the highest in the world at that time. Prior research has attributed these elevated ratios to factors such as maternal age, birth order,...

Endogenous education duration, fertility choice, and mortality : a framework for optimal population policy

Palokangas, Tapio K. - 2026

This paper characterizes optimal education and population policies within a continuous-time overlapping generations (OLG) framework where fertility, schooling duration, and health expenditures are endogenous. In this model, mortality risk is driven by a negative congestion effect from population...

Paths to the rainforests : ancestral beliefs and fertility in Sub-Saharan Africa

Conventional demographic models systematically overestimate fertility decline in sub-Saharan Africa. This paper proposes a complementary explanation grounded in a prevalent but understudied belief system: ancestors influence the living and seek the continuation of their lineage, into which they...

Navigating motherhood : endogenous penalties and career choice

Coskun, Sena; Dalgic, Husnu; Özdemir, Yasemin - 2026

We document that women strategically sort into "family-friendly" sectors characterized by lower returns to experience but lower per-child penalties before the birth of their first child. This anticipatory sorting represents an ex-ante cost of motherhood that is entirely missed by conventional...
