The Implications of Population Aging for Economic Growth
Abstract
I use a reduced form regression model to determine the extent to which population
aging accounts for economic growth in each of the nine regions of the world. Predominantly,
I build upon the research of Bloom et al. (2010), which is central to formulating
my regression equation. I separate the difference between each region’s average growth
rate from the world average growth rate into demographic and non-demographic effects
using the estimated coefficients. The results suggest that more economically developed
regions have potentially benefited from population aging, while less economically
developed regions have not.
