  • When families have fewer children, they tend to invest more in the education and health of each child.

    “When families have fewer children, they tend to invest more in the education and health of each child (Lee & Mason 2010, Prettner et al. 2013, Strulik et al. 2013).”

    From Fertility in High-Income Countries: Trends, Patterns, Determinants, and Consequences (2024) · cites this paper as Strulik et al. 2013

    The Introduction (p. 6) and Conclusion (p. 30) describe a model in which fewer children are associated with greater education expenditure per child. They do not describe increased investment in children's health; a search for health found no passage supporting that part of the claim. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • The semi-endogenous growth framework with endogenous human capital accumulation can replicate the stylized cross-country pattern of the relation between economic growth and fertility.

    “Overall, we have shown that the semi-endogenous growth framework with endogenous human capital accumulation can replicate the stylized cross-country pattern of the relation between economic growth and fertility (Ahituv 2001, Herzer et al. 2012, Strulik et al. 2013).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
