The Impact of Policies Influencing the Demography of Age-Structured Populations: Lessons from Academies of Sciences.

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: policy scenario. Our findings suggest that academies with linked intake (i.e., where the size of the academy below a certain age is fixed and the number of elections is set to the number of members becoming that age) may be a more efficient approach to curb growth without suffering any ageing trade-offs relative to the faster growth of academies electing a fixed number of members per year. We further discuss the implications of our results in the context of stable populations open to migration.
