“…If different cohorts have different levels of productivity, it is likely that age structure may affect economic development paths. At this point, the literature stresses that a worker's productivity systematically varies over her working life for reasons such as the accumulation of experience over time, depreciation of knowledge, and age‐related trends in physical and mental capabilities (Aiyar, Ebeke, & Shao, ). In this regard, a more mature labour force may have higher average levels of work experience, with potentially positive effects on productivity (Burtless, ; Disney, ).…”

This paper examines the relationship between quality of government and regional resilience in the European Union during the Great Recession. The results show that the quality of government is an important factor when shaping the regional reaction to the crisis. Our estimates reveal that higher quality of government is associated with greater regional resilience over the Great Recession. This is partly due to the role played in this context by spatial spillovers induced by the quality of government in neighbouring regions. The observed link between governance and regional resilience is robust to the inclusion in the analysis of different explanatory variables that may affect both government quality and regional resilience. Likewise, our findings do not depend on the specific dimension of governance considered, the estimation method or the econometric specification employed to capture the nature of spatial spillovers.

“…The workforce in all developed countries is ageing. A special study was devoted to this issue: Aiyar et al, 2016, from which we borrowed Table 1 below, adding Russia (the low end of the working age is defined differently in the Table 1 than in Fig. 10).…”

The current stage of demographic changes in all countries that have experienced a demo graphic transition is characterized by two main features: (1) cessation of population growth; (2) a progressive increase in the total dependency ratio, which until recently, de spite the longrun population ageing, was declining. Both of these features are unfavorable from the economic point of view. In Russia, the situation is aggravated by the peculiari ties of the population pyramid, heavily deformed by the social and military upheavals of the 20 th century. The article shows that, for a long time, the demographic trends in Russia favored its economic development, but now the country is entering a long period of unfavor able demographic changes. The cessation of growth of the Russian population, the reduc tion in the workingage population and its ageing and the increase in the dependency ratio will have a deterrent effect on economic development and, at the same time, make it more difficult to solve social problems. In particular, these factors will create greater problems for the pension system for people older than working age. The issue of using the migration resource to mitigate the negative consequences of demographic changes is discussed.

“…Desde una perspectiva estrictamente económica y considerando a cada individuo como un agente productivo, una población numerosa puede ser beneficiosa para el fortalecimiento de la economía de una nación (Kremer 1993;Easterly 2001;Aiyar, Ebeke y Shao 2016). Pero esto solo es posible si las estructuras sociales, culturales y económicas permiten al individuo desarrollar el máximo de sus capacidades (Easterly 2006).…”

81Resumen Una población numerosa puede favorecer el crecimiento económico (un bebé puede ser un futuro aportador de impuestos), generar oportunidades para la innovación tecnológica (un bebé puede ser un futuro genio e innovador) y dinamizar la economía (más consumidores y más costos compartidos). Pero esto solo puede ser posible si el tejido social y económico de una sociedad es el propicio. ¿Será el crecimiento poblacional amazóni-co en Ecuador lo suficientemente elevado para garantizar más pobreza y conflicto social a corto y largo plazo, o será un factor de desarrollo? La región amazónica posee la tasa más alta de natalidad en Ecuador. En 60 años, la población se ha multiplicado 16 veces. La ausencia de servicios básicos y educación promueve tasas de natalidad elevadas, especialmente en los indígenas. Existe evidencia de que el crecimiento poblacional (natalidad y migración) promueve la deforestación en la región amazónica. El presente ensayo es una síntesis del cambio demográfico y sus efectos sobre la deforestación, frontera agrícola, urbanización y las estrategias indígenas frente al cambio. Una población en rápido crecimiento puede contribuir a la economía y estabilidad social, solamente si se cumplen las condiciones necesarias de educación y oportunidades laborales. Estas últimas características particularmente ausentes de forma histórica para la región amazónica de Ecuador.Palabras clave: demografía, deforestación, estrategia indígena, frontera agrícola, urbanización.Abstract A large population can promote economic growth (a baby could be a future tax payer), can generate new opportunities for technological innovation (a baby can be a future genius and innovator), and can contribute to a dynamic economy (more consumers and more shared costs). However, this is possible only if the social and economic conditions of a society are the necessarily required.
