Indicators of Small Town Tourism Development Potential: The Case of Fouriesburg, South Africa
Urban Forum, 2009Co-Authors: Greg Halseth, Cathy MeiklejohnAbstract:As small towns experience economic and social restructuring, many are pursuing tourism opportunities as one component of a more diversified local economic strategy. This paper is interested in the small town of Fouriesburg in South Africa's Free State. While the town was once a thriving service center for a surrounding rural agricultural region, this Traditional Economy has faded. Given that the nearby town of Clarens has developed a substantial tourism Economy, we pose the question of whether there already exist indicators that Fouriesburg may be poised for a similar change. These indicators include location within the urban field, timing within the tourist area life cycle model, differentials/opportunities in property values, and the role of real estate agents as “gatekeepers” in directing investments. The findings suggest that, while Fouriesburg has potential for developing a tourism-oriented Economy, many of the important policy and planning supports needed to assist with diversification are not yet in place.

Development, Fertility and Childbearing Age: A Unified Growth Theory
2018Co-Authors: Hippolyte D'albis, Angela Greulich, Grégory PonthièreAbstract:During the last century, fertility has exhibited, in industrialized economies, two distinct trends: the cohort total fertility rate follows a decreasing pattern, while the cohort average age at motherhood exhibits a U-shaped pattern. This paper proposes a Unified Growth Theory aimed at rationalizing those two demographic stylized facts. We develop a three-period OLG model with two periods of fertility, and show how a Traditional Economy, where individuals do not invest in education, and where income rises push towards advancing births, can progressively converge towards a modern Economy, where individuals invest in education, and where income rises encourage postponing births. Our findings are illustrated numerically by replicating the dynamics of the quantum and the tempo of births for cohorts 1906-1975 of the Human Fertility Database.

Development, fertility and childbearing age: A unified growth theory
2017Co-Authors: Hippolyte D'albis, Angela Greulich, Grégory PonthièreAbstract:During the last two centuries, fertility has exhibited, in industrialized economies, two distinct trends: the cohort total fertility rate follows a decreasing pattern, while the cohort average age at motherhood exhibits a U-shaped pattern. This paper proposes a unified growth theory aimed at rationalizing those two demographic stylized facts. We develop a three-period OLG model with two periods of fertility, and show how a Traditional Economy, where individuals do not invest in higher education, and where income rises push towards advancing births, can progressively converge towards a modern Economy, where individuals invest in higher education, and where income rises encourage postponing births. Our findings are illustrated numerically by replicating the dynamics of the quantum and the tempo of births for Swedish cohorts born between 1876 and 1966.
