How to Assess Fiscal Implications of Demographic Shifts: A Granular Approach
http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/howtonotes/2016/howtonote1602.pdf
This note presents a simple framework that can assist researchers in quantifying the effects of demographic changes resulting from population aging on government fiscal balances. It includes two country applications of the framework and an associated template. The note addresses several key questions: What are channels through which demographic changes could affect public finances? How can we quantify the fiscal impact of demographic changes? How can we tailor the assessment to country-specific circumstances?
How to Adjust to a Large Fall in Commodity Prices
http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/howtonotes/2016/howtonote1601.pdf
