我们记录了政府支出乘数取决于人口年龄结构。利用美国各州军费开支和出生率的变化,我们发现地方财政乘数为 1.5,并随着年轻人口比例的增加而增加,这意味着四分位数范围内的乘数为 1.1-1.9。简约的生命周期开放经济新凯恩斯主义模型,加上信贷市场的不完善和劳动力供需的年龄差异,解释了当地乘数与人口统计之间 87% 的关系。该模型表明,1980 年至 2015 年间,美国人口老龄化导致国家政府支出乘数下降 38%。 (JEL D15、E12、E24、E62、J11、J22、J23)
We document that government spending multipliers depend on the population age structure. Using the variation in military spending and birth rates across US states, we show that the local fiscal multiplier is 1.5 and increases with the population share of young people, implying multipliers of 1.1–1.9 in the interquartile range. A parsimonious life cycle open economy New Keynesian model with credit market imperfections and age-specific differences in labor supply and demand explains 87 percent of the relationship between local multipliers and demographics. The model implies that the US population aging between 1980 and 2015 caused a 38 percent drop in national government spending multipliers. (JEL D15, E12, E24, E62, J11, J22, J23)
