Tax Aspects of Policy Towards Aging Populations : Canada and the United States
Auerbach, Alan J. - 1990
In comparing Canada with the U.S., we first simulate the U.S. demographic transition, treating the U.S. as a closed economy. The time path of interest rates obtained from the U.S. simulations are then used in the Canadian simulations. In the Canada simulations, Canada is assumed to be an open...

Bursztyn, Leonardo; Chaney, Thomas; Hassan, Tarek A.; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
We study how decades-long exposure to individuals of a given foreign descent shapes natives' attitudes and behavior toward that group, exploiting plausibly exogenous shocks to the ancestral composition of US counties. We combine several existing large-scale surveys, cross-county data on implicit...
