    The Australian economy is constantly affected by technological, demand and policy shocks from home and abroad. The opportunities and challenges presented by these shocks create demand for government advice on the likely effects on households, firms and the Australian economy, and in turn appropriate policy responses. Treasury has developed a multisector dynamic generally equilibrium model to meet this need - the Treasury Industry Model (TIM). As a general equilibrium model, TIM captures the economy's interconnectedness and rich industry detail, enabling the net effects of policy or other exogenous changes to the economy to be assessed. TIM extends previous Australian models by incorporating forward-looking agents that are able to respond rationally to policy and technological changes, a well-defined balanced growth path defined endogenously, and a model-consistent welfare measure. These features, combined with TIM's significant production and industry detail, position the model well for informing advice on a range of industry- and trade-related policy questions.

    To meet the needs of a broad set of internal and external stakeholders now and into the future the Australian Treasury maintains a significant macroeconomic modelling capability. Treasury's current inhouse capability is similar to that of the US Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT). These agencies have a suite of macroeconomic models to quantify the general equilibrium effects of policy on economic activity, household welfare and public finances. In this paper we introduce one of the models in that suite, Treasury's overlapping generations model of the Australian economy (hereafter OLGA). OLGA has been developed by economists in Treasury's Macroeconomic Analysis and Policy Division to support Treasury's counterfactual fiscal policy analysis. OLGA is a small open economy variant of the well-known lifecycle model developed by Auerbach and Kotlikoff (1987). It has been calibrated to Australian data and policy settings.

    Over the past 40 years, Australia has experienced significant changes to the proportion of the population that is attached to its labour market. From the early 1980s, the aggregate labour force participation rate rose steadily, climbing from around 60 per cent in 1983 to almost 66 per cent in 2011. Underlying this long-term increase in the aggregate participation rate are opposing developments for males and females. The male participation rate fell from close to 80 per cent in the late 1970s to just above 70 per cent in recent years. Yet this decline in male participation rates over this period has been more than offset by an increase in female participation rates. Since the 1970s, the female participation rate has increased by more than 15 percentage points. This paper studies these developments through the lens of an age and cohort-based framework and uses the estimated model to analyse historical trends and the implications of these past developments for future participation rate trends in Australia.
