SUMMARY:Matteo Cervellati - University of Bologna
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nUnified Growth Empirics\n\n\nAbstract:\nIn this paper we investigate th
 e patterns of long-term determinants in a panel of 60 countries over the pe
 riod 1880-2000. We study a prototype micro-funded unified growth model of t
 he economic and demographic transition that allows to simulate the evolutio
 n of the economy over long periods of time. Some (deep) country specific pa
 rameters are pin down in the spirit of structural estimation. The quantitat
 ive model is used to simulate an artificial world that produces the endogen
 ous overtime evolution of life expectancy, fertility, education and economi
 c development over the period 0-2000 A.D. The analysis allows to evaluate t
 he fit of the model to actual panel data for the last 120 years and to perf
 orm controlled (counterfactual) exercises. Finally, in a first attempt to l
 ink deep and proximate determinants, we investigate the time invariant (e.g
 . geo-climatological) empirical determinants of the estimated deep paramete
 rs.\n
