<p>Are there any known DSGE models with a demography component, i.e., that model the effects of aging population in output growth?</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Edit: I've been thinking, this question might not make much sense since I think DSGE are usually used for fluctuations/medium-run, whereas demography seems to be more like a long-run issue... not sure though.</p>

Just as a brain storm ; some epidemics that take place each year in some regions of the world ? So in this case, it would be interesting to see its effect on macroeconomic indicators.

# DSGE and Demography

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-01-28)

Are there any known DSGE models with a demography component, i.e., that model the effects of aging population in output growth?

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I've been thinking, this question might not make much sense since I think DSGE are usually used for fluctuations/medium-run, whereas demography seems to be more like a long-run issue... not sure though.

It's not my field at all but with a quick search I found an [ECB working paper from 2010 "INTEREST RATE EFFECTS OF DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN A NEW-KEYNESIAN LIFE-CYCLE FRAMEWORK", by Engin Kara and Leopold von Thadden](https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/scpwps/ecbwp1273.pdf?69ebca156c9ef673d45cdcb4e32a1f95).

The [dynare forum](http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/) is more specialized on DSGE models, you will probably get better advice there. With a [quick search there](http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/search.php?keywords=%2Bdemographic%20%20) you find several posts that already included something with demography.
