Population growth has declined markedly in almost all major economies since the 1970s. We argue this trend has … important consequences for the process of firm dynamics and aggregate growth. We study a rich semi-endogenous growth model of … firm dynamics, and show analytically that a decline in population growth reduces creative destruction, increases average …

It is shown that there will be debt neutrality … if and only if the sum of the rate of growth of population and the individual probability of death equals zero. If this … condition holds, non-zero rates of growth of labor productivity will not destroy debt neutrality …

We find that standard population growth projections imply … population impacts are correlated across countries: climate change and population growth will have their most damaging effects in …
