Population Ageing and International Capital Flows

Martin Flodén and David Domeij

No 4644, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: We use the neoclassical growth framework to model international capital flows in a world with exogenous demographic change. We compare model implications and actual current account data and find that the model explains a small but significant fraction of capital flows between OECD countries, in particular after 1985.
