GDP Per Capita<br />

Notes: Panel A displays the relationship between the probability to have at least one child among the 16-40 year olds<br />

<strong>and</strong> PPP-adjusted real GDP per capita for our 248 country-years. Observations are divided in 20 bins of GDP per capita,<br />

with similar number of observations per bin. We report the average probability in each bin controlling for country fixed<br />

effects, along with the robust 95% confidence interval, following the methodology described in section 2.2. To capture<br />

fertility along the intensive margin, Panel B displays the relationship between PPP-adjusted real GDP per capita <strong>and</strong><br />

lifetime fertility rates available from the World Bank, following a similar method. See text for details.<br />
