Longevity Shocks with Age-Dependent Productivity Growth [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015 AbstractThe aim of this paper is to study the long-run effects of a longevity increase on individual decisions about education and retirement, taking macroeconomic repercussions through endogenous factor prices and the pension system into account. We build a model of a closed economy inhabited by overlapping generations of finitely-lived individuals ...
