This paper studies, to what extent have population changes and economic growth have affected each other in Albania. In the last three decades, Albanian economy has been very dependent on population movements. There has been an ongoing debate on the dynamics of economic development and population growth. One theory suggests that fast population growth causes strain on resources that deteriorate the state of the economy. Another theory sees the population growth as an advantage in the long run, rather than a threat. And a third theory suggests that population growth and economic growth do not affect each other.Vector Auto Regression method is used in this paper for data obtained from 1981 to 2013 to estimate the importance of the relationship between the two variables. The data is retrieved from publications of institutions like World Bank and INSTAT. The empirical results state that the relationship between the population and economic growth is existent but weak in Albania.

The Relationship

The complex relationship between population growth and socio-economic development has long been debated. The arguments about the direction and causality of the relationship between population growth and development indicators remain inconclusive. The available literature on the subject reflects three main ideological groups. Nationalists see population growth as a stimulus to economic development, whereas the neo-Malthusians see it the other way round. The Marxists, however, see the population problem being solved in terms of development through a socialist model.

Historical Profile

The relationship between population growth and economic development has remained a controversial topic since the time of Malthus. Opinion among the scholars on this issue is sharply divided. This article examines the theoretical arguments about the likely consequences—positive or negative—of higher population growth on economic development and looks at the empirical findings on the issue based on the survey of literature in the field. The article traces the historical profile of demographic change in the developed and the developing countries over the last two centuries and analyses the factors behind them with particular reference to China and India. The implications of the findings for population control policy are also examined. There is a growing realisation of the fact that fertility decline is dependent upon socio-economic development. There is a general consensus among demographers that policies for fertility reduction should stress voluntary decisions on the part of the individuals concerned rather than compulsion and should be conceived in the context of a much wider programme for social, economic, and political development. The positive and negative incentives in this situation have a limited role to play in this context.

The Relationship

It can be suggested that the ‘economic development’ of most Third-World nations today will be reflected in two distinct but interrelated processes: (1) a rise in economic productivity and in real incomes, and (2) a reduction in fertility and a corresponding slowing down in the rate of population growth.1 Historically, an increase in both the number of cities in a country and the number and proportion of the population living there, has been closely associated with both these processes. Accordingly, as urbanisation proceeds in Africa it might logically be assumed that economic growth and demographic modernisation are also taking place. It is our purpose in this brief article to offer a partial explanation for the fact that this historical association has not characterised recent trends in the continent.

Analysis of Airport Passangers Trip Origin Towards The Access To The Airport (Case Study: Semarang, Yogyakarta and Surabaya): The economic development of a city will be accompanied by an increase in the number of population, which means it will generate more mobility as well as the need of transportation. Changes in travel time due to congestion will also affect travel cost. From the relationship between the growth of the number of vehicles in a city and the accessibility to the airport, it is necessary to research the significance of that relationship. Three airports namely Ahmad Yani Airport, Adisucipto Airport and Juanda Airport with the correspondent cities they served used as the case study. The data of travel time and travel distance of the respondents processed using the relation analysis. The problem solving method exercised the distribution of modal choice, the difference of travel time to theairport and to forecast the number of passengers if mass transport is utilized. The result of the study indicates that the growth of air transport demand correlate positively with the population growth. Respondents indicates mass rail transport is required if the possibility of loss of flight can occur in cities with varying fluctuations in travel time. Berkembangnya ekonomi kota akan diiringi dengan bertambahnya jumlah penduduk dan meningkatkan tingkat bermobilitas yang menyebabkan kebutuhan transportasi bertambah. Perubahan waktu perjalanan juga akan mempengaruhi biaya perjalanan yang diakibatkan kemacetan. Dari hubungan antara pertumbuhan jumlah kendaraan disuatu kota dan aksesibilitas menuju bandara, maka perlu dilakukan penelitian signifikansi hubungan tersebut. Sebagai studi kasus digunakan data 3 bandara yaitu Bandara Ahmad Yani, Bandara Adisucipto dan Bandara Juanda. Data waktu tempuh dan jarak perjalanan responden diolah dalam analisis hubungan waktu tempuh dan jarak perjalanan. Metode penyelesaian permasalahan yang ada adalah mengidentifikasi distribusi penggunaan moda, menghitung perbedaan waktu tempuh perjalanan menuju bandara dan dilakukan peramalan jumlah penumpang apabila diadakan transportasi massal. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan adanya kesesuaian bahwa pertumbuhan demand transportasi udara seiring dengan pertumbuhan jumlah penduduk. Responden menunjukkan transportasi massal rel dibutuhkan jika kemungkinan terjadinya kehilangan penerbangan dapat terjadi pada kota dengan fluktuasi perubahan waktu tempuh yang sangat bervariasi.

The Relationship

The review outlines the connection between E. Reinert’s book and the tradition of structural analysis. The latter allows for the heterogeneity of industries and sectors of the economy, as well as for the effects of increasing and decreasing returns. Unlike the static theory of international trade inherited from the Ricardian analysis of comparative advantage, this approach helps identify the relationship between trade, production, income and population growth. Reinert rehabilitates the “other canon” of economic theory associated with the mercantilist tradition, F. Liszt and the German historical school, as well as a reconside ration of A. Marshall’s analysis of increasing returns. Empirical illustrations given in the book reveal clear parallels with the path of Russian socio-economic development in the last twenty years.
