    Several economic-demographic models of a whole economy have been developed since Coale and Hoover first published their economic development in low income countries [1958].Coale and Hoover simulated an economy under alternative assumptions of high and low fertility. In their short-term model total product grew more slowly under high fertility than it did under low fertility. On the other hand in the long-run model although total product was higher under high fertility than under lon, fertility per capita income levels were considerably reduced

    Oxford bulletin of economics and statistics: Public action and the quality of life in developing countries
    (1981) Sen, Amartya
    There is some evidence in favour of the view that there has been an accentuation of poverty in many parts of the world in the last few decades. However there has been a consistent improvement in the commonly identified parameters of quality of life, e.g. longevity and literacy in practically every country in the world. But this progress has been sharply uneven with widely varying magnitudes of change among the different countries.

    (1982) Wriggins, W. Howard
    Four main developments deserve review on the economic front like other countries that have tried the experiment Sri Lanka experienced the gains and the pains of opening up the economy with the help of the IMF. Heavy capital investment made real progress but contributed to large budgetary deficits inflation surged to nearly 40% during the year but was brought down to a reported 18-20 % , foreign investment contributed to reducing unemployment and diversifying Sri Lanka's production and exports while peasant agriculture did well in the face of poor rains. But traditional tree crop output slipped once again and adverse terms of trade added to the balance of payments deficit.

    Sex differentials in mortality in Sri Lanka : changes since the 1920s
    (1984) langford, C.M
    In Sri Lanka in the 1920s female mortality exceeded male mortality in almost all age groups: only in infancy and late middle age did male mortality. Proportionately the greatest female excess was in the child bearing ages.Mortality fell very substantially between 1921 and 1971.However throughout most of this period the same basic pattern of sex differentials persisted; indeed between 1921 and 1953 the relative position of women worsened in a number of age groups.Although the original pattern still showed clearly in 1963,by 1971 male mortality exceed female mortality in almost all age groups: excess female mortality was only found among children.It is possible that discriminatory behavior played an important part in excess female mortality in Sri Lanka in the past

    The poverty of development economics
    (1985) Lal, Deepak
    The essential elements of the Dirigiste Dogma, as I see them can be briefly stated.The major one is the belief that the price mechanism or the working of a market economy, needs to be supplanted by various forms of direct government control both national and international to promote economic development. A complementary element is the belief that the traditional concern of orthodox micro-economics with the allocation of given resources is at best of minor importance in the design of public policies.
