Abstract

In this chapter, assuming two assets of money and the claims on physical capital, we examine the effect of an increase in life expectancy on portfolio choices of individuals between these two assets. Money is introduced based on the money-in-the-utility-function approach. With capital externalities as an engine of growth, changes in portfolios of individuals affect the economic growth rate.
