Abstract

The paper explores the implications of alternative statistical models for evaluating the effects of family planning. The objective is to estimate these models with data for Taiwan to determine their practical usefulness. The author claims that simultaneous-equations techniques are needed if one is to obtain a proper understanding of the effects of population policies on reproductive behavior.
