This paper constructs a stylized general equilibrium overlapping generations model in which child-rearing costs are modeled explicitly to evaluate quantitatively the effects of a demographic transition in five Asian economies: Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. The model looks at two...

We have developed a computable two-country general equilibrium model with overlapping generations of agents. Two main issues are addressed: (i) how does the differential ageing process across countries affect international capital flow, and (ii) to what extent do the policy reforms play a...
