Abstract

Demographic analysis has started to apply structural equation modelling to its different processes. This paper presents an application that models the demand for children. It discusses the procedures used to estimate the structural parameters of this model. The paper then tests the model using the 1992 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey. The model for the demand for children is estimated by four estimation procedures, and the results are compared. The model is also tested for exogeneity.
