Population Aging and International Capital Flows
David Domeij ()
and Martin Flodén ()
Abstract: We use the neoclassical growth framework to model
international capital flows in an economy with exogenous demographic
change. We compare model implications and actual current account data and
find that the model explains a small but significant fraction of capital
flows between OECD countries, in particular after 1985.
