摘要
本文从实证文献出发,在机制和结果两个方面分析了人口老龄化对于创新的影响。本文发现,从人力资本积累角度分析年龄与创新均得到了大量证据支持,同时专利申请、技术进步以及行业、国家的TFP均存在和年龄结构相关的一致模式。在综合个人与宏观层面的实证性原因与模式之后,我们认为年龄结构与创新能力存在倒U型关系,国家层面的创新能力也与此一致,但国家间的差异也会造成年龄结构对各国TFP的增长趋势的影响有所差异。
Abstract: This paper surveys the literature on the relationship between aging and innovation. Substantial evidence supports the hypothe- sis that aging affects innovation through cognitive ability and human capital. In general, there is an inverted U shape relationship between age structure and innovation, which is measured by patents, technology progress and TFP. The magnitude of the effect of age structure on innovation varies across countries, due to countries' heterogeneity.
