The migration challenge for PAYG
Journal of Population Economics - Tập 27 - Trang 1023-1038 - 2014
Immigration has been popularised in the economics literature as a tool that could be used to balance troubled PAYG pension systems. Pivotal research by Razin and Sadka shows that unskilled immigration can overcome the pension problem and, further, boost the general welfare in the host economy. However, a large strand of current economics research is engaged in identifying mechanisms through which ......
Assessing the efficiency of public education and pensions
Journal of Population Economics - Tập 22 - Trang 285-309 - 2008
Theory says that, in an overlapping-generations context, intergenerational transfer agreements are efficient if they induce equality between certain implicit rates of return. We apply this theory to the case of public education and pensions, where public education is interpreted as a loan from middle age to young, and pensions are the repayment of this loan, plus interest, from middle age to old. ......
The labor market effects of national health insurance: evidence from Taiwan
Journal of Population Economics - Tập 22 - Trang 311-350 - 2007
This paper investigates the impacts of national health insurance on the labor market, by considering the case of Taiwan, which implemented national health insurance in March 1995. Taiwan’s national health insurance is financed by premiums, which are proportional to an employee’s salary. These premiums may introduce distortions to the labor market. Based on repeated cross-sections of individual dat......
On opulence driven poverty traps
Journal of Population Economics - Tập 6 - Trang 67-81 - 1993
Endogenous population growth, i.e., making the rate of population growth dependent on society's opulence, causes parametric changes to have a larger impact and can cause multiplicity of steady states in a dynamic intertemporal optimization framework. This provides a simple explanation for the possibility of differing growth paths between countries (using a standard production function) or another ......
Evaluating the pin money hypothesis: The relationship between women‘s labour market activity, family income and poverty in Britain
Journal of Population Economics - Tập 10 - Trang 137-158 - 1997
In this paper we evaluate the hypothesis that the over-representation of women amongst the low paid is of little importance because women‘s earnings account for only a small proportion of total family income. Data from the General Household Survey (GHS), together with attitudinal evidence from three cross-sectional data sources, indicate that women‘s earnings are in fact an important and growing ......

Does mother’s employment conflict with child development? Multilevel analysis of British mothers born in 1958
Journal of Population Economics - Tập 22 - Trang 665-692 - 2007
Does maternal employment, while children are very young, affect their development? We link cognitive and behavioral scores of school-aged children to mothers’ employment during preschool years using virtually unique data for two generations in the 1958 British birth cohort. Our multivariate, multilevel model controls for mothers’ own cognitive and behavioral scores in childhood. Results are mixed ......
I won’t make the same mistake again: burnout history and job preferences

Housing and children: simultaneous decisions?—a cohort study of young adults’ housing and family formation decision
Journal of Population Economics - Tập 25 - Trang 349-366 - 2010
This study contributes to earlier research on homeownership and childbearing by taking into account the potential simultaneity between these two life events. A dataset comprising three different Swedish birth cohorts suggests that these are events that are indeed simultaneous. Different tests indicate that taking this simultaneity into account gives an overall statistically significant improvement......
The contribution of changes in employment composition and relative returns to the evolution of wage inequality: the case of Spain
Journal of Population Economics - Tập 25 - Trang 511-543 - 2011
Wage inequality in Spain decreased slightly between 1995 and 2006 despite significant changes in employment composition. Changes in the composition of the workforce would have increased inequality keeping constant wage structure, but changes in wage differentials are the most important factor determining the evolution of inequality. By subperiods, the low end of the wage distribution compressed be......
