''Growth with human capital accumulation and declining population: an augmented Solow model approach'' |
( 2025, Vol. 45 No.1 ) |

This study examines how the long-run growth rate of per capita income is determined when population growth is negative. It uses the augmented Solow growth model as a tool for this investigation. The results reveal four distinct types of dynamics, depending on the parameter combinations. In all these dynamics, the long-run growth rate of per capita income remains positive. This finding implies that sustainable growth in per capita income is achievable, even in the context of negative population growth. |
