Abstract: | Economic and demographic outcomes are determined jointly in a choice-theoretic model of fertility, mortality and capital
accumulation. There is an endogenous population of reproductive agents who belong to dynastic families of overlapping generations
connected through altruism. In addition to choosing savings and births, parents may reduce (infant) deaths by incurring expenditures
on health-care which is also provided by the government. A generalised production technology accounts for long-run endogenous
growth with short-run transitional dynamics. The analysis yields testable time series and cross-section implications which
accord with the empirical evidence on the relationship between demography and development.
