abstract = {In a model on population and endogenous technological change, Kremer combines a short-run
Malthusian scenario where income determines the population that can be sustained, with the
Boserupian insight that greater population spurs technological change and can therefore lift a
country out of its Malthusian trap. We show that a more realistic version of the model, which
combines population and population density, allows deeper insights into these processes. The
incorporation of population density also allows a superior interpretation of the empirical
regularities between the level of population, population density, population growth, and
economic development, both at aggregated and disaggregated levels.},
