Demography and Globalization - A Long-Run Perspective
Uwe Sunde (LMU) https://www.popecon.econ.uni-muenchen.de/personen/professoren/sunde/index.html

(joint with Gerrit Meyerheim and Thomas Überfuhr)

 

This paper investigates the interplay between demographic development and trade. We first present novel evidence from the estimation of extended gravity equations that document that international trade volumes are affected by differences in demographic development. To rationalize this finding, we develop a canonical model of long-run growth that shows how demographic differences affect the scope trade along the development path and that makes several novel predictions that are consistent with evidence. The model also shows that trade, while entailing positive short-run effects, can lead to divergence and a slow-down in the dynamics of demographic and economic development.
