The Macroeconomic Impact of Fertility Changes in an Aging Population∗
We assess the impact of continued low fertility in China, versus a rebound in fertility due to the relaxation of the one child policy, on demographic and macroeconomic outcomes in a dynamic general equilibrium framework. We build a rich model of household dynamics with young and elderly dependents, human capital investment, public health insurance, pensions, private savings, and intrafamily tra...
متن کاملFiscal Policy Effects in a Heterogeneous-Agent Overlapping-Generations Economy With an Aging Population
Among the models that the Congressional Budget Office uses to analyze the economic effects of changes in federal fiscal policy is a life-cycle growth model with overlapping generations of heterogeneous households. In this paper, we extend a similar dynamic model by incorporating a population that ages in a manner consistent with projections for the United States. Under that extension, gross dom...
متن کاملAn Overlapping Generations Model of Electoral Competition
This paper presents a dynamic model of political competition between two "parties" with different policy preferences. A "party" is explicitly modelled as a sequence of overlapping generations of candidates, all of whom face finite decision horizons. In general, there is a conflict between the interests of the individual policymakers and those of the "party" , which includes subsequent generatio...
متن کاملAn overlapping-generations model with search
Search is embeded in an overlapping-generations model. Young people participate a centralized market and a decentralized market sequentially and olds only participates the centralized market. The demographic feature allows analytical tractability. In a series examples, positve inflation rates are Pareto optimal. JEL classification: E31
متن کاملThe Effects of Annuities, Bequests, and Aging in an Overlapping Generations Model of Endogenous Growth
In this paper, we examine the effects of introducing actuarially fair annuity markets into an overlapping generations model of endogenous growth. We find the complete annuitization of agents’ wealth is not, in general, dynamically optimal; that the degree of annuitization that is dynamically optimal depends nonmonotonically on the expected length of retirement and on the pay-as-you-go social se...
