Abstract:
Dr. Robert Dekle is a professor of Economics at the University of Southern California and he is a specialist of macroeconomics
and international finance. He is doing research on the financial problem that relates to population issues such as the influence of
aging on savings and the relation between population change and economic growth. Between 1985-1986, he came to Japan as a Fulbright scholar
and studied Japanese economy. Afterwards, he has served as a visiting scholar with the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and as a staff economist
with the International Monetary Fund as a specialist of the emerging markets of East Asia and the Japanese economy. In this lecture, he will discuss
about the demographic dividend and macroeconomic perspectives and the implication of the sustainability of financing from the view point of
medium and long-run trend by comparing the countries (Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia, etc.) where the timing of economic development and aging are different.
