{{short description|Exponential growth based on a constant rate}}A Malthusian growth model, sometimes called a simple exponential growth model, is essentially exponential growth based on the idea of the function being proportional to the speed to which the function grows. The model is named after Thomas Robert Malthus, who wrote An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798), one of the earliest and most influential books on population.“Malthus, An Essay on the Principle of Population: Library of Economics“Malthusian models have the following form:

P(t) = P_0e^{rt}
where - P0 = P(0) is the initial population size,
- r = the population growth rate, which Ronald Fisher called the Malthusian parameter of population growth in The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection,BOOK, Fisher, Ronald Aylmer, Sir, 1890-1962., The genetical theory of natural selection, 1999, Oxford University Press, 0-19-850440-3, A complete variorum, Oxford, 45308589, and Alfred J. Lotka called the intrinsic rate of increase,BOOK, Lotka, Alfred J.

- t = time.
frac{dP}{dt} = rP
with initial condition:P(0)= P0This model is often referred to as the exponential law.Turchin, P. “Complex population dynamics: a theoretical/empirical synthesis” Princeton online It is widely regarded in the field of population ecology as the first principle of population dynamics,JOURNAL, 10.1034/j.1600-0706.2001.11310.x, Does population ecology have general laws?, Oikos, 94, 17â26, 2001, Turchin, Peter, with Malthus as the founder. The exponential law is therefore also sometimes referred to as the Malthusian Law.Paul Haemig, “Laws of Population Ecology”, 2005 By now, it is a widely accepted view to analogize Malthusian growth in Ecology to Newton’s First Law of uniform motion in physics.JOURNAL, Ginzburg, Lev R., The theory of population dynamics: I. Back to first principles, Journal of Theoretical Biology, en, 122, 4, 385â399, 10.1016/s0022-5193(86)80180-1, 1986, 1986JThBi.122..385G, Malthus wrote that all life forms, including humans, have a propensity to exponential population growth when resources are abundant but that actual growth is limited by available resources:... The germs of existence contained in this spot of earth, with ample food, and ample room to expand in, would fill millions of worlds in the course of a few thousand years. Necessity, that imperious all pervading law of nature, restrains them within the prescribed bounds. The race of plants, and the race of animals shrink under this great restrictive law. And the race of man cannot, by any efforts of reason, escape from it. Among plants and animals its effects are waste of seed, sickness, and premature death. Among mankind, misery and vice. “|Thomas Malthus, 1798. An Essay on the Principle of Population. Chapter I.|source=}}A model of population growth bounded by resource limitations was developed by Pierre Francois Verhulst in 1838, after he had read Malthus’ essay. Verhulst named the model a logistic function.See also
