Abstract

Aging has complex effects on the markets for real capital — capital used in the production of goods and services, and housing capital. If elderly people save less than younger people, an aging society saves less. This should increase interest rates since supply of funds gets tight. At the same time, the younger generation becomes ever smaller, so there is also less demand for new investment. The equilibrium effect is thus uncertain.
