Abstract

Increasing unemployment and declin ing fertility rate s are serious economic issues in many developed countries. This brief article constructs a simple overlapping generations model incorporating involuntary unemployment, fertility choice , and automation capital with the assumption that automat ion capital is a perfect substitute for labor inputs It is shown that ro bot tax imposed on automation capital improves employment and fertility as well as per capita income in the long run.
