Betriebe haben es immer schwerer, nicht nur Fachkräfte, sondern auch Personal für einfachere Tätigkeiten zu rekrutieren. Die konjunkturelle Schwächephase infolge des russischen Angriffskriegs auf die Ukraine und die damit verbundenen Preissteigerungen sowie Lieferkettenprobleme bremsen die...

From 1850 to 2000, in Western European countries life expectancy rose from 30-40 to 80 years and the average number of children per woman fell from 4 to 5 children to slightly more than one. To gauge the economic consequences of these demographic trends, we implement an overlapping generations...

This study assesses macroeconomic and sectoral impacts of demographic changes in the Czech Republic, as a result of population ageing and international migration. To do so, it develops a unique dynamic Overlapping Generations Computable General Equilibrium (OLG-CGE) model with detailed...

This paper focuses on the empirically observed relationship between demographic change and inflation and explores the theoretical nature of the puzzling link between the two. It puts the existent disparate empirical findings in the literature into perspective by formalizing an...

Public pay-as-you-go pensions still form the dominant pillar of old-age provision in Germany. This is in marked contrast to the situation in Anglo-Saxon countries. It has advantages if labour markets are strong, e.g., following a quick recovery from the Great Recession. It has disadvantages, as...
