Do More Able Individuals Have Fewer Children?
 Pokorná, Táňa ; Rieger, Pavel (advisor) ; Bartoň, Petr (referee)
The aim of this empirical analysis is to verify the hypothesis that more able individuals have fewer children. By abilities for the purposes of this study we meant the level of achieved education and wage. This study is inspired by the paper of M. Beenstock. Its theoretical framework is based primarily on the works of G. Becker. It is based on the assumption there is an inverse relationship between quantity and quality of children; quality means expenditures per child. For testing we use the so-called ordinary least squares method and the real data for the United States in 1992. We test the robustness of model which can be based on equations of different types and complexity. The paper also includes sub-hypothesis about influence of woman's education on number of her children. Results of the analysis confirm that education and the wage of individuals influence negatively the number of their children.
