摘要：This study examines the relationship between the total fertility rate and per capita GDP based on the Demographic-Economic Paradox in 10 Newly Industrialized Countries for the period 1980-2012.Using the Panel Ordinary Least Squares method,the results of the study support the existence of the Demographic-Economic Paradox,which is described that nations or subpopulations with higher GDP per capita are observed to have fewer children,even though a richer population can support more children.Also,this study examines the causal relationship between fertility and per capita GDP through the Granger non-causality test developed by Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012).The panel causality test results indicate the presence of bilateral causality relationship between the two variables.
