Overview

This book is intended for those who wish to learn about research methodologies using the endogenous fertility model from the basics. The first half of the book provides comprehensive explanations of how to construct the endogenous fertility model, including detailed mathematical formulations often omitted from existing literature, so that beginner students can fully understand the contents of the book. The latter part of the book presents research papers that build on the theoretical foundations established in the first half. In this way, we set up a theoretical model using the fertility endogenization model and aim to provide a comprehensive reference for researchers and graduate students who wish to conduct rigorous analytical analysis. Empirical analysis has become increasingly central to recent research in this field. In order to avoid empirical analysis without theory, the book is also designed as a valuable guide for establishing robust theoretical foundations in empirical studies. Thus, we have tried to make this book useful not only for theoretical analysis but also for those who conduct empirical analysis. In addition, we believe the book’s content will remain relevant over time—another distinguishing feature.
