Research Abstract

Two different pieces of research regarding the above subject have been executed, and two papers have been published.
(1) The first paper of mine investigated the effects of GDP per capita upon infant mortality using panel data from 83 developing countries over a period of 40 years. While economic growth broadly decreases infant mortality, the impact of economic growth upon infant mortality for the periods of economic booms and slumps is asymmetrical.
(2) The second paper analyzed with cross-country panel data and econometric methods the impact of female schooling and social status on economic development, and elucidated the mechanism between the three variables.
