美国生育率的下降,开始于18世纪后期,是在生育率决定的一般模型中进行研究的。土地可用性措施的能力,以解释粗出生率的组成部分的变化进行了测试,使用汇总回归技术。一组粗出生率预测农村地区的23个北方州在1760年至1870年期间,并与其他估计。它的结论是,土地的可用性是一个关键因素,在确定对儿童的需求,并最终,生育率,跨州和随着时间的推移。
The decline in U.S. fertility rates, beginning in the latter part of the eighteenth century, is examined within a general model of fertility determination. The ability of land availability measures to explain the variation in components of the crude birth rate is tested using a pooled regression technique. A set of crude birth rate predictions for rural areas of 23 northern states during the period 1760–1870 is produced and compared with other estimates. It is concluded that the availability of land was a critical factor in determining the demand for children and, ultimately, the fertility rate, across states and over time.
