摘要

本文利用包含生育选择的一般均衡世代重叠模型,研究了儿童福利对宏观经济和福利的影响。该模型在日本进行了校准,得出的生育率福利弹性与经验估计值一致。在长期均衡中,扩大按每个子女支付的福利会给后代带来福利收益。值得注意的是,这种长期收益延伸至终生无子女且未领取子女津贴的个人。扩招带来的生育率提高以及由此产生的人口结构变化通过多种渠道解释了这一结果。然而,达到新的均衡需要大约 100 年的时间,因为人口结构的变化需要足够的过渡期。因此,福利收益的累积是渐进的,需要很长的时间。

Macroeconomic analysis of the child benefit: Fertility, demographic structure, and welfare

This paper examines the macroeconomic and welfare effects of the child benefit, using a general equilibrium overlapping generations model incorporating fertility choices. The model is calibrated to Japan and produces the benefit elasticity of fertility in line with the empirical estimates. Expanding the per-child payment leads to welfare gains for future generations in the long-run equilibrium. Notably, the long-run gains extend to individuals who are childless throughout their lives and do not receive child benefits. Higher fertility rates facilitated by the expansion and the resulting demographic change account for the results via several channels. However, reaching the new equilibrium takes approximately 100 years as the demographic change necessitates sufficient transition periods. The accrual of welfare gains is thus gradual and takes a long time.
