Demography and Equity Premium

Author Info

Wolfgang Kuhle () (Mannheim Research Institute for the Economics of Aging (MEA))

Abstract

This article comprises a tractable two-generations-overlapping, stochastic, neoclassical production economy, where government bonds are in positive net supply. In this framework we show that the entrance of larger (smaller) cohorts into the labor market will lead to an increase (decrease) in the risky and the riskless rate and to an increase (decrease) in the expected equity premium.
