Macroeconomic Demography of Intergenerational Transfers

我和Mason最初的并行R01提案（我的提案是 随后转换为R37）将为七个国家开发NTA：美国，法国，智利，巴西 (on日本、台湾和印度尼西亚（由梅森基金资助）。这一国家的选择是在 一部分是由于它们所表现出的经济、人口、制度和政策变化的范围， 私人侦探与这些国家的潜在合作者的个人联系。从那时起，该项目 其规模增加了两倍多，包括23个国家，其多样性范围甚至更大。这种扩张 有好几种方式1)Naohiro Ogawa，日本的团队负责人，获得了人口基金的资助， 中国、菲律宾和泰国参加了该项目。2)我们收到了来自以下机构的主动要求加入该项目的请求 研究人员在S.韩国、澳大利亚、奥地利、斯洛文尼亚、瑞典、芬兰、匈牙利、哥斯达黎加和乌拉圭。 这些新的国家工作队中有四个与我们联系，因为他们以前做过传统的代 他希望扩大分析范围，将私人转账也包括在内。3)墨西哥及以下国家 撒哈拉非洲（肯尼亚和尼日利亚）是在我们积极寻找和招聘之后加入的。 非洲团队的领导者希望将南非加入该项目，巴西团队正在寻求 将莫桑比克加入该项目。一些额外的研究人员提出了我们拒绝的请求 由于有关国家的现有数据存在问题或这些数据不适合项目，我 将德国和意大利加入该项目的努力迄今为止尚未成功，原因是难以找到 正确的研究人员。通常，一个团队有一个高级领导和一个初级成员， 估计。有时这是一个研究生。我们在网站上列出了63名成员，分布广泛 年龄：42%在40岁以下，67%在50岁以下。

The original parallel R01 proposals from myself and Mason (mine was subsequently converted to a R37) were to develop the NTA for seven countries: the US, France, Chile, Brazil (on my grant), and Japan, Taiwan, and Indonesia (on Mason's grant). This choice of countries was governed in part by the range of economic, demographic, institutional and policy variations they exhibited, and in part by personal contacts of the Pis with potential collaborators in these countries. Since that time the project has more than tripled in size to include 23 countries with an even greater span of diversity. This expansion occurred in several ways. 1) Naohiro Ogawa, the team leader for Japan, obtained UNFPA funding to add India, China, the Philippines and Thailand to the project. 2) We received unsolicited requests to join the project from researchers in S. Korea, Australia, Austria, Slovenia, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Costa Rica, and Uruguay. Four of these new country teams approached us because they had previously done traditional Generational Accounting and wished to extend the analysis to include private transfers. 3) Mexico and countries in sub- Saharan Africa (Kenya and Nigeria) were added after an active search and recruitment process on our part. The African team leaders are hoping to add South Africa to the project, and the Brazilian team is seeking to add Mozambique to the project. Some additional researchers have made requests that we have turned down due to problems with the available data for the countries in question or their unsuitability for the project. My efforts to add Germany and Italy to the project have so far not been successful due to difficulties locating the right researchers. Typically a team has a senior leader and a junior member who actually carries out the estimation. Sometimes this is a graduate student. We list 63 members on the web site with a wide distribution of ages: 42% are under 40 and 67% are under 50.
