Based on a sample of 126 countries over the period of 1970 to 2019 and 5-year nonoverlapping growth regressions, this study has revealed the existence of an inverted U-shaped aging population Kuznets curve. The threshold levels below (above) which aging population potentially promotes (hampers)...

Over the last several years, highly accurate methods of sex selection before conception have been developed. Given that strong preferences for sex variety in off- spring have been documented for the U.S., we ask what the demographic conse- quences of sex-selection technology could be. Lacking...

Climate and demographic changes are two major long-term trends that are evolving simultaneously. The global population is aging, while climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of weather-related disasters and lowering productivity. This paper examines the macroeconomic effects of...

We study optimal team design (homogenous vs. diverse assignment) and explicit contracting in a setting with multiple agents who have possibly diverse demographic characteristics captured by their discount factors. When the agents have relatively small discount factors, the contract is designed...
