Endogenous fertility in a growth model with public and private health expenditures

We build an overlapping-generations model that incorporates endogenous fertility choices, in addition to public and private expenditures on health. Following the seminal analysis of Bhattacharya and Qiao (J Econ Dyn Control 31:2519–2535, 2007) we assume that the effect of public health investmen...
