Population Growth and Industrialization

Growth, population and industrialization, and urban land expansion of China

China is experiencing urbanization at an unprecedented rate over the last two decades. The overall goal of this paper is to understand the extent of and the factors driving urban expansion in China from the late-1980s to 2000. We use a unique three-period panel data set of high-resolution satellite imagery data and socioeconomic data for entire area of coterminous China. Consistent with a numbe...

International Trade and Industrialization with Negative Population Growth

This paper builds a small-open-economy, non-scale-growth model with negative population growth and investigates the relationship between trade patterns and per capita consumption growth. Under free trade, if the population growth rate is negative and its absolute value is small, the home country becomes an agricultural country. Then, the long-run growth rate of per capita consumption is positiv...

Conglomerate Corporate Growth in Late Industrialization

Growth, Industrialization, and the Intergenerational Correlation of Advantage

The shift from feudalism to industrial capitalism was generally accompanied by an increase in social mobility. We ask whether such an increase has occurred in a developing nation currently undergoing rapid industrialization, Indonesia. It has, at least as measured by a declining intergenerational correlation of education. To highlight the effects of economic growth on intergenerational mobility...

Modelling the depletion of forestry resources by population and population pressure augmented industrialization

In this paper, a nonlinear mathematical model is proposed and analysed to study the depletion of forestry resources caused by population and population pressure augmented industrialization. It is shown that the equilibrium density of resource biomass decreases as the equilibrium densities of population and industrialization increase. It is found that even if the growth of population (whether in...
