This working paper attributes a (potential) path of per-capita US output to demographic effects of the post-war baby boom. To the extent that the baby-boom generation predominates among age cohorts in the US population, a life-cycle model suggests a secular trend in per-capita GDP that is...

This paper investigates the effects of exchange rate volatilities on economic growth of Iran over the flexible exchange rate regime period (1988:Q1 2007:Q4). We use generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) family models to generate time varying conditional variance of...
