Chapter 10 in Migration States and Welfare States: Why Is America Different from Europe?, 2014, pp 51-57 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Although the population of the US is both getting older and growing more slowly than in the past, the demographic future for the US is younger than that of the core EU countries. This chapter presents a political-economy overlapping generations model which predicts the implications for aging on the generosity of the welfare state.
