The Spatial Reproductive Value and the Spatial Momentum of Zero Population Growth

A Rogers and F Willekens

Environment and Planning A, 1978, vol. 10, issue 5, 503-518

Abstract: This paper develops the concept of spatial reproductive value and illustrates how such a notion may be used to trace out quantitatively the geographical impacts of a sudden reduction in fertility to bare replacement level. Such a reduction does not immediately produce zero population growth in populations that previously experienced high birthrates. The built-in momentum for continued growth and its spatial dimension may be assessed with the aid of spatial reproductive values.
