Abstract
⺠An OLG closed economy with endogenous fertility is analysed. ⺠We study how capital accumulation and fertility react to a child allowance policy. ⺠Multiple equilibria are shown to exist depending on the size of the child allowance. ⺠Fertility can either be of the Malthusian or Modern type in the long run. ⺠The effect of the child policy on long-run fertility is ambiguous.
