We find that the model provides a good fit of the relevant factors and, in a forecast …The prototypical Lee-Carter mortality model is characterized by a single common time factor that loads differently … across age groups. In this paper, we propose a parametric factor model for the term structure of mortality where multiple …

Population changes are decisive for growth performances. This has been shown in a number of country studies, using time series data. The analysis is here extended in two dimensions: 1) the importance of demographics for growth is taking in to account a regional dimension allowing for spatial...

Individuals aged 65 years and older currently make up a larger share of the population than ever before, and this group is predicted to continue growing both in absolute terms and relative to the rest of the population. This chapter begins by introducing the facts, figures, and forecasts...
