"In this paper we show that the macroeconomic effects of demographic changes strongly depend on the degree of altruism and on the specification of the intertemporal utility function. We allow for agents either to be altruistic in the sense of Barro (1974) or non-altruistic. In the latter case, generations are heterogeneous like in the ¿unloved children' model of Weil (1989). In the former case, where the model is a standard Ramsey model with identical agents, we distinguish a Millian and a Benthamite intertemporal utility function. For each of these models, we study the effects of an anticipated and unanticipated permanent decline in population growth as well as the consequences of a baby-boom/baby-bust scenario."
在本文中，我们表明人口结构变化的宏观经济效应在很大程度上取决于利他主义程度以及跨期效用函数的设定。我们考虑个体要么是巴罗（1974年）意义上的利他主义者，要么是非利他主义者。在后一种情况下，各代人是异质的，就像韦尔（1989年）的“不受宠爱的孩子”模型那样。在前一种情况下，模型是一个具有相同个体的标准拉姆齐模型，我们区分了密尔式和边沁式跨期效用函数。对于这些模型中的每一个，我们研究了预期和未预期到的人口增长永久性下降的影响以及婴儿潮/婴儿低谷情景的后果。
