Conference Paper
Demographic shocks: the view from history: discussion
Weil, David N. (2001)
Massimo Livi-Bacci has taken us on a fascinating tour of demographic history. What lessons for developments in the world today can we draw from the story he tells? I will distinguish between three types of lessons, which I call "economic lessons," "demographic lessons," and "cultural/political lessons."

Selection bias, demographic effects, and ability effects in common value auction experiments
Casari, Marco; Kagel, John H.; Ham, John C. (2005)
We find clear demographic and ability effects on bidding in common value auctions: inexperienced women are much more susceptible to the winner's curse than men, controlling for SAT/ACT scores and college major; economics and business majors substantially overbid relative to other majors; and those with superior SAT/ACT scores are much less susceptible to the winner's curse, with the primary effect coming from those with below median scores doing worse, as opposed to those with very high scores doing substantially better, and with composite SAT/ACT score being a more reliable predictor than ...

Sustainable social security: four options
Kitao, Sagiri (2011)
This paper presents four policy options to make Social Security sustainable under the coming demographic shift: 1) increase payroll taxes by 6 percentage points, 2) reduce the replacement rates of the benefit formula by one-third, 3) raise the normal retirement age from sixty-six to seventy-three, or 4) means-test the benefits and reduce them one-to-one with income. While all four policies achieve the same goal, their economic outcomes differ significantly. Options 2 and 3 encourage own savings, and capital stock is more than 10 percent higher than in the other two options. The payroll tax ...

Conference Paper
The fiscal impact of population change: discussion
Steuerle, C. Eugene (2001)
It is now well established that world-wide demographic shifts are going to affect both the U. S. and world economies in ways that are not entirely predictable. What we can do--and what Ronald Lee and Ryan Edwards do so well--is to plot out for the future some of the fiscal implications under reasonable guesses about demographic, economic, and legal factors. These factors include what we know already from the past, such as the maximum number of people in the world of any age over 0 next year and over 10 in another ten years. A typical next step is to posit what in estimating circles is known ...

Conference Paper
The fiscal impact of population change: discussion
Atkinson, Paul (2001)
Ronald Lee and Ryan Edwards have provided a comprehensive analysis of the prospective budgetary implications of the aging of the U. S. population over the period to 2100. They cover a lot of ground but two major points stand out: Their analysis suggests that the budget pressures that aging will imply will be intense and very possibly greater than many other analyses would suggest; and the most important pressure is less likely to come from Social Security payments of old-age pensions than from demand for medical care. Their most important policy message relates to the need for policymakers ...

Growing slowly, getting older: demographic trends in the Third District states
Schiller, Timothy G. (2008-10)
National trends such as slower population growth, an aging population, and immigrants as a larger component of the population are mirrored in the Third District states (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware). These trends are likely to persist and perhaps even accelerate well into the future. In "Growing Slowly, Getting Older: Demographic Trends in the Third District States," Tim Schiller reviews these trends and their possible interaction with health care and retirement benefit programs nationally and in the Third District states.
