Résumé

This paper reviews the recent literature on the economic implications of demographic and technological changes from the perspective of the so-called «secular stagnation» hypothesis. It highlights the main mechanisms by which those changes affect macroeconomic variables, and singles out some important consequences for economic and social policies. The main conclusion is the emergence of a new economic context that requires close examination of the macroeconomic policy mix implemented in the past and of the stance and instruments of fiscal and social policies. It also suggests the main research areas that need to be covered to achieve this goal.
