When fertility returned to its original level, agriculturalists were more numerous, more poorly nourished, and worked longer hours than their hunter\u2013gatherer ancestors. We develop a dynamic price-theoretic model that rationalizes these events. In the short run, people are lured into agriculture by the increased labor productivity of both adults and children. In the long run, the growth in population overrides the productivity gains, and the later generations of agriculturalists end up being worse-off than the hunter\u2013gatherers. Counter-intuitively, the increase in the labor productivity of children causes the long-run reduction in welfare. In the long run, the increase in adult labor productivity only contributes to population growth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gobierno.udd.cl\/cics\/files\/2012\/05\/1-s2.0-S030438781000091X-main.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-85\" title=\"PDF\" src=\"https:\/\/gobierno.udd.cl\/cics\/files\/2012\/07\/pdf-cics.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journal of Development Economics, Vol. 96, N\u00b02, pp. 209-219.
