The Effects of Age Structure on Economic Growth: An Application of Probabilistic Forecasting in India

During recent years there has been an increasing awareness of the explanatory power of demographic variables in economic growth regressions.

We use the new model and recent probabilistic demographic projections for India to derive the uncertainty of predicted economic growth rates caused by the uncertainty in demographic developments.
