Professor James Poterba
MIT economics Prof. James Poterba has conducted very rigorous research on the subject of demographic trends and asset returns. His research examined the relationship between demographic structure and returns on Treasury bills, long-term government bonds, and stocks, using data from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
What he found?
From his research, Poterba concluded: “The empirical results suggest very little relationship between population age structure and asset returns.”
