本文采用参数混合模型研究了1950 - 2005年全球生育率分布的演变。我们证明了双峰的存在,并将世界各国划分为两个不同的组成部分:高生育率制度和低生育率制度。虽然双峰的重要性随着时间的推移而消失,但在整个观察期内,这两种生育制度继续存在。1950年,世界上大约三分之二的国家属于高生育率制度,其余国家则属于低生育率制度。到2005年,情况发生了逆转。在低生育率和高生育率制度下,平均生育率都下降了,在高生育率制度下,绝对生育率下降幅度更大。从视觉上看,两座山峰靠得更近了。对于低生育制度,我们发现β-和σ-收敛,而对于高生育制度,我们无法建立任何收敛模式。我们的结果支持条件收敛的想法,其中的条件是生育过渡的成功启动。结果不太支持存在独特的高生育率平衡。
In this paper, we study the evolution of the distribution of fertility rates across the world from 1950 to 2005 using parametric mixture models. We demonstrate the existence of twin peaks and the division of the world’s countries in two distinct components: a high-fertility regime and a low-fertility regime. Whereas the significance of twin peaks vanishes over time, the two fertility regimes continue to exists over the whole observation period. In 1950, about two thirds of the world’s countries belonged to the high-fertility regime and the rest constituted the low-fertility regime. By the year 2005, this picture has reversed. Within both the low- and the high-fertility regime, the average fertility rate declined, with a larger absolute decline within the high-fertility regime. Visually, the two peaks moved closer together. For the low-fertility regime, we find bothβ- andσ-convergence but we cannot establish any convergence pattern for the high-fertility regime. Our results support the idea of conditional convergence where the condition is the successful initiation of the fertility transition. The results are less supportive of the existence of a unique high-fertility equilibrium.
