This paper assesses the impact on potential growth up to 2020 of possible future budget deficit dynamics in France, with new ageing-related expenditures financed exclusively by debt. The methodology calibrates a standard analytical model with production function and proportional taxes using national accounts. It documents the intuition according to which debt-building significantly crowds out productive capital accumulation. Simulations suggest that a crowding-out adjusted (public debt/GDP) ratio should keep increasing significantly, reaching 97% in 2020 at unchanged policies. It would stabilize around 60% only if sizeable primary surpluses (excluding new ageing-related expenditures) of 1.25% GDP were achieved on average. Yet the detrimenta...
