We constructed an overlapping-generations model with endogenous fertility to analyze the effect of child benefits and pensions on welfare for current and future generations. The following results were obtained. First, when financial sustainability is not taken into account, the best policy to...

In this paper, we present an OLG simulation model with endogenous fertility in order to analyze the relationship between child benefit and fiscal burden in Japan. Our simulation results show that expansion of the child benefit will improve the welfare of current and future generations. On the...

In this paper, we present an OLG simulation model with transmission of individual ability and endogenous fertility in order to capture the effects that strengthening income redistribution, expansion of child benefit, and expansion of educational support have on economic disparity and economic...

To quantify the impacts of immigration on the Japanese economy, we present a large-scale numerical dynamic equilibrium model with OLG and a total of 16 countries and regions, both those that are industrialized including Japan, the U.S. and EU, and developing countries China, Brazil, the...

We have developed a multi-period computable overlapping generations model to study whether ageing itself and public pension reform that aims to cope with aging make any quantitative impact on the Japanese economy. We simulate baseline scenario and a policy change scenario, and compare the...

This paper constructs a stylized general equilibrium overlapping generations model in which child-rearing costs are modeled explicitly to evaluate quantitatively the effects of a demographic transition in five Asian economies: Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. The model looks at two...

We have developed a multi-period computable endogenous growth overlapping generations model generated by the accumulation of human capital. To study whether ageing itself and policy reform that aims to cope with aging make any quantitative impact through human capital formation on the Japanese...

We have developed a computable two-country general equilibrium model with overlapping generations of agents. Two main issues are addressed: (i) how does the differential ageing process across countries affect international capital flow, and (ii) to what extent do the policy reforms play a...
