Abstract

In economics, most empirical studies of the consequences of changes in longevity focus on life expectancy, without considering other moments of the survival probability distribution. Here, we apply a novel parsimonious parametric and easily implementable decomposition method of variation in longevity based on life table information. We document several empirical facts of longevity changes around the world and their associations with aggregate population dynamics and economic development, and demonstrate that a parametric decomposition of changes in longevity beyond life expectancy can be very useful for various applications.
分解寿命:世界各地的预期寿命如何变化
在经济学中,大多数关于寿命变化后果的实证研究都集中在预期寿命上,而没有考虑生存概率分布的其他时刻。本文提出了一种新的基于生命表信息的寿命变化分解方法,该方法参数简洁,易于实现。我们记录了世界各地寿命变化的几个经验事实及其与总人口动态和经济发展的联系,并证明了超出预期寿命的寿命变化的参数分解对各种应用都非常有用。

期刊介绍: The Journal of the Economics of Ageing (JEoA) is an international academic journal that publishes original theoretical and empirical research dealing with the interaction between demographic change and the economy. JEoA encompasses both microeconomic and macroeconomic perspectives and offers a platform for the discussion of topics including labour, health, and family economics, social security, income distribution, social mobility, immigration, productivity, structural change, economic growth and development. JEoA also solicits papers that have a policy focus.
