增加劳动年龄人口的比例可以产生“人口红利”,从而提高经济增长率。我们使用1960年至1980年期间的国家横截面估计了经济增长模型的参数,并调查了纳入年龄结构是否改善了模型对1980至2000年期间的预测。我们发现,计入年龄结构改善了预测,尽管有证据表明,在第二个时期增长放缓的情况下,两个时期之间存在参数不稳定。我们使用该模型来生成2000年至2020年期间的增长预测。(C)2007年国际预报员协会。爱思唯尔出版,版权所有。
Increases in the proportion of the working age population can yield a "demographic dividend" that enhances the rate of economic growth. We estimate the parameters of an economic growth model using a cross section of countries over the period 1960 to 1980, and investigate whether the inclusion of age structure improves the model's forecasts for the period 1980 to 2000. We find that including the age structure improves the forecast, although there is evidence of parameter instability between periods with an unexplained growth slowdown in the second period. We use the model to generate growth forecasts for the period 2000 to 2020. (c) 2007 International Institute of Forecasters. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
