low fertility socioeconomic development and gender equity
Population and Development Review, 2015Co-Authors: Thomas F. Anderson, Hanspeter KohlerAbstract:type="main"> While new empirical findings and theoretical frameworks provide insight into the interrelations between socioeconomic development, gender equity, and low fertility, puzzling exceptions and outliers in these findings call for a more all-encompassing framework to understand the interplay between these processes. We argue that the pace and onset of development are two important factors to be considered when analyzing gender equity and fertility. Within the developed world, “first-wave developers”—or countries that began socioeconomic development in the nineteenth/early twentieth century—currently have much higher fertility levels than “late developers.” We lay out a novel theoretical approach to explain why this is the case and provide empirical evidence to support our argument. Our approach not only explains Historical Periods of low fertility but also sheds light on why there exists such large variance in fertility rates among today's developed countries.

demographic transition revisited low fertility socioeconomic development and gender equity
2015Co-Authors: Thomas M Anderson, Hanspeter KohlerAbstract:While new empirical findings and theoretical frameworks provide insight into the interrelations between socioeconomic development, gender equity, and low fertility, puzzling exceptions and outliers in these findings call for a more all-encompassing framework to understand the inter-play between these processes. We argue that the pace and onset of development are two important factors to be considered when analyzing gender equity and fertility. Within the developed world, “first-wave developers”—or countries that began socioeconomic development in the 19th/early 20th century – currently have much higher fertility levels than “late developers”. We lay out a novel theoretical approach to explain why this is the case and provide empirical evidence to support our argument. Our approach not only explains Historical Periods of low fertility but also sheds light on why there exists such large variance in fertility rates among to-day’s developed countries.

a new economic geography model of central places
Journal of Urban Economics, 2011Co-Authors: Takatoshi Tabuchi, Jacques-françois ThisseAbstract:Abstract One of the most striking feature of the space-economy is that cities form a hierarchical system exhibiting some regularity in terms of their size and the array of goods they supply. In order to show how such a hierarchical system may emerge, we consider a model with monopolistically competitive markets for the industrial sectors. As transport costs steadily decrease from large values, the urban system formed by several small cities entails structural changes in that some cities expand at the expense of the others by attracting a growing number of industries. Beyond some threshold, some cities disappear from the space-economy. Such an evolution of the urban system describes fairly well what has been observed in various Historical Periods that have experienced major changes in transportation technologies and/or political unification.

western influences on chinese educational testing
Comparative Education, 2007Co-Authors: Weihua NiuAbstract:China has one of the oldest educational testing systems in the world, yet its modern form was influenced by various western educational modes borrowed during the twentieth century. This essay reviews the history of the Chinese traditional educational testing system: its origin, features, and its past impact on Chinese people's lives as well as on modern education. It then examines the western influence on the Chinese educational testing system in the twentieth century, focusing on two Historical Periods, from 1905 to 1949 and post‐1980, when western influences were most vigorous. It concludes with a discussion of the characteristics of Chinese assimilation to western educational models and the impact of such assimilation on Chinese people's lives.
