Applied Economics Letters, 2006, vol. 13, issue 9, 581-585

Abstract: This study explores the long-term economic effects of population ageing by region in Canada using a dynamic regional computable overlapping generations model. The model has six regions, six goods and 15 overlapping generations of heterogeneous workers by skill level and immigration status. The analysis indicates that regional differences in retirement decisions, fertility rates and location of skilled immigrants will cause a substantial increase in regional income disparity in Canada between faster-ageing and slower-ageing regions of the country.
