Modeling the effects of health on economic growth
TLDR
This paper developed a framework for modeling the inter-relationships between GDP growth rates and explanatory variables by re-examining the life expectancy-income relationship and computed confidence intervals for the effect of ASR on growth rate and applied a test for parameter stability.About:

The Effect of Health on Economic Growth: A Production Function Approach
TL;DR: This article showed that good health has a positive, sizable, and statistically significant effect on aggregate output, even when controlling for experience of the workforce, and argued that the life expectancy effect in growth regressions appears to be a real labor productivity effect, and is not the result of life expectancy acting as a proxy for worker experience.

Chapter 8 Growth Econometrics
TL;DR: A survey and synthesis of econometric tools that have been employed to study economic growth can be found in this article, where the main stylized facts that have motivated the development of growth econometrics, the major statistical tools used to provide structural explanations for these facts, and the primary statistical issues that arise in the study of growth data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Death and Development
TL;DR: In this article, a variety of cross-national and sub-national data was analyzed to argue that high adult mortality is associated with increased levels of risky behavior, higher fertility, and lower investment in physical and human capital.

A Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of long run growth is proposed and examples of possible growth patterns are given. But the model does not consider the long run of the economy and does not take into account the characteristics of interest and wage rates.

Statistical Methods for Research Workers
TL;DR: The prime object of as discussed by the authors is to put into the hands of research workers, and especially of biologists, the means of applying statistical tests accurately to numerical data accumulated in their own laboratories or available in the literature.

Testing for serial correlation in least squares regression. II.
James Durbin,G. S. Watson +1 more
TL;DR: The problem of testing the errors for independence forms the subject of this paper and its successor and deals mainly with the theory on which the test is based, while the second paper describes the test procedures in detail and gives tables of bounds to the significance points of the test criterion adopted.

Growth Empirics: A Panel Data Approach
TL;DR: In this article, a panel data approach is advocated and implemented for studying growth convergence, and the familiar equation for testing convergence is reformulated as a dynamic panel data model, and different panel data estimators are used to estimate it.
