The
course will examine the economic determinants and consequences of population
change and demographic behavior including household formation, marriage, child
bearing and rearing, mortality and migration. We will apply analytical tools of
economics to investigate various economic and social consequences of population
change. The consequences studied include the economic impact of population
aging and fiscal sustainability, the effects of government policies in support
of families, and the economic impact of immigration.
