4 Key points Unprecedented rise in life expectancy in recent decades in advanced economies Understand the macroeconomic impact of this change in the composition of the population A key implication: fall in the neutral interest rate OLG model to quantify the effect of population ageing Across all advanced-countries, ageing can explain: About 160bp of fall in interest rates since 1980, with a further 40bp still to come More than 75% of the rise in house prices and private credit to GDP Some of the labour productivity slow down since the 2000s Just under 30% of the variation in net foreign asset positions 3 / 43

18 Model: overview Calibrated neoclassical overlapping generations model Households value consumption, housing and bequests They face a given life-cycle profile of labour earnings Net savings of households invested by firms Demographic change: variable birth rates and life expectancy Solved assuming perfect foresight 16 / 43
19 Model: Household s Problem The household born at time t maximises: max {c τ,t, a τ,t, h τ,t} T τ=1 T β τ ψ τ,t (ln c τ,t + θ τ ln h τ,t ) + β T ψ T,t φ ln a T,t τ=1 subject to, for τ = 1,..., T : c τ,t +a τ,t +p h t+τ 1(h τ,t h τ 1,t ) w t+τ 1 ɛ τ l τ,t +(1+r t+τ 1 )a τ 1,t +π τ,t τ: age ; t: birth year ψ τ,t : survival probability up to age τ Inelastic labor supply Fixed number of periods when the household is able to move ; otherwise, we impose h τ,t = h τ 1,t. 17 / 43
20 Model: Firm s Problem At each period t, the firm maximises: max L t, K t F (K t, L t ) w t L t (r t + δ)k t F (K, L) = A [(1 α)l σ 1 σ ] + αk σ 1 σ σ 1 σ 18 / 43
21 Model: Market Clearing X t : value of X t per aggregate capita. Market Clearing at every period t: Capital/Asset Market Labour Market Housing Market à t 1 = K t ρ ɛl t = L t H t = H Goods Market Ỹ t = C t + Ĩ t Steady state exists in per capita terms. Housing supply exogenously increases with total population size. 19 / 43

42 Sensitivities and extensions: monopoly profits Add monopolistic competition and supernormal profits to the corporate sector. In partial equilibrium, this pushes down on the interest rate r t = 1 µ Tradable claims constitute an additional store of value, again attenuating fall and Figure: Simulations With and Without Monopoly Power Y t K t 40 / 43

45 Conclusions and some caveats Conclusions: Population ageing mostly due to persistent rise in longevity Explain around half the fall in real interest rates since the 1980s, most of the rise in house prices and household debt and about 30% of cross-sectional variation in NFA positions. Potentially permanent implications 43 / 43
46 Conclusions and some caveats Conclusions: Population ageing mostly due to persistent rise in longevity Explain around half the fall in real interest rates since the 1980s, most of the rise in house prices and household debt and about 30% of cross-sectional variation in NFA positions. Potentially permanent implications Caveats: We have assumed perfect foresight, but not everyone plans ahead Not all the pressure of demographic change will fall on private savings Retirees can instead consume less (no evidence so far) Households will work more, or retire later (already some evidence) Governments will provide part of the old-age pensions through contemporaneous transfers This is not a forecast that rates will remain low - many other factors at play 43 / 43
