Demography and the Macroeconomy: A Methodological Framework

José María Fanelli

Chapter Chapter 2 in Asymmetric Demography and the Global Economy, 2015, pp 53-81 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we develop a methodological framework to examine demographic data from a macroeconomic perspective. It is based on the concepts utilized in the National Transfers Account (NTA) approach, as well as those used in the study of macroeconomic fluctuations, growth, and capital movements (Dervis, 2012). Using the data provided by the NTA database, we apply the framework in the next chapter to study the linkages between changes in the population’s size and structure and the macroeconomy, seeking to identify a set of stylized facts on such linkages in emerging countries. The methodology also provides a framework to interpret the evidence and research results discussed in the rest of the book.
