Abstract

The Bangladesh Development Studies Vol. XXVIII, September 2002, No. 3 The Long-run Relationship between Population Growth and Per Capita Income in Bangladesh by Mohammad S. Hasan* I. INTRODUCTION Identification of the nature and direction of a causal relationship between population growth and per capita income has been the subject of long-standing debate among researchers and policy- makers. Central to the causality issue between these two variables in less-developed countries is the question of whether population growth stimulates or retards economic growth and the standard of living in the developing countries. Or should economic growth take precedence over population growth? Although this question has attracted voluminous research and a succession of discussion during the past decades, no unanimous conclusions have been reached. Previous research documented an inverse relationship between population growth and per capita income as well as a positive beneficiai relationship between population growth and per capita income, and finally a statistically insignificant relationship between population growth and per capita income
