The Age of Imbalance: Population Dynamics and Current Accounts in OECD Economies explores the relationship between population dynamics and current account balances in OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) economies. These countries provide a compelling context for analysis due to their well-documented demographic transitions and the availability of reliable data. By examining how changes in age structure interact with savings and investment behavior, this study seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the macroeconomic consequences of demographic transformation. After the introduction, Chapter 2 reviews the theoretical links between population dynamics and current account balances. Chapter 3 presents demographic developments and current account trends in OECD economies. Chapter 4 outlines the data, methodology, and empirical findings. Chapter 5 discusses selected case studies, and Chapter 6 concludes by highlighting the key policy implications and proposing directions for future research.
