This book deals with specific problems in Colombia as a means of exploring interrelated theoretical themes in the development process. Demographic and political as well as specifically economic variables arc given consideration in the authors' analysis of the constraints on the growth of Colombia's modern sector. Originally published in 1971. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

(Book by Davidson, Paul)
I first sought to understand the determinants of fertility in terms of microeconomic theory of household demand behaviour. This perspective was used to assess the contribution of policy to slow population growth in Taiwan, and the analysis was extended to encompass the determinants of interrelated family behaviour in various countries, such as child health and schooling, family labour supply, mobility, and marriage patterns. Some conditions that initially were regarded as exogeneously affecting fertility and investments in children were subsequently re-examined as simultaneously determined with fertility over the family’s life-cycle, such as child mortality.
Intra-household resource allocations among children and between
genders were shown to have economic origins. Heterogeneity in individual unobserved endowments, for example, healthiness and fecundity, was shown to bias direct inferences of the effect on child health and fertility of self-selected input behaviour. Migration was approached as a process that matches the heterogeneous preferences of people to local prices and opportunities, modifying behaviour of migrants across regions.
In several studies of the personal distribution of income, I have tried to assess which aspects of development, changes in age and household compositions associated with demographic trends, and educational investments in people, help to account for empirical regularities in inequality associated with modern economic growth.
