I have recently been working on a quite wide range of topics, ranging from the diffusion of contraceptive knowledge, fertility in developed and developing countries, demographic methods for low fertility contexts, genetic influences on fertility behavior to growth theory and historical analyses. Below you find some working papers which are partially under review for publication. Comments are very much appreciated.
Note: For working papers that are forthcoming or have been published in the meantime, please see the publications page.
