Precautionary public health, ageing and urban agglomeration
Tóm tắt
Introducing precautionary public health policy into an overlapping generations model with migration of households between regions, we discuss the causality between ageing and urban agglomeration. We analyze the effect of public policy to expand longevity on an equilibrium population distribution between an urban region and a rural region in a steady state. As the result of our analysis, it is possible that the promotion of precautionary public health policy leads to enlarge wage differentials and enlarge regional disparity.
