Long-term fiscal implications of funding assisted reproduction: a generational accounting model for Spain

Año: 2016

Revista: Reproductive Biomedicine and Society 

Resumen:The aim of this study was to assess the lifetime economic benefits of assisted reproduction in Spain by calculating the return on this investment. We developed a generational accounting model that simulates the flow of taxes paid by the individual, minus direct government transfers received over the individual’s lifetime. The difference between discounted transfers and taxes minus the cost of either IVF or artificial insemination (AI) equals the net fiscal contribution (NFC) of a child conceived through assisted reproduction.
