Pension Structure and Employee Turnover: Evidence from a Large Public Pension System

AbstractThis paper adapts an actuarial mathematical model, built for the Italian public pension system, based on the law proposal 3035/2009 to the Accountant Pension Fund (CNPADC). The aim is to introduce a new philosophy pension highly correlated with the concept of adequacy for an ambitious social welfare; using the logic of the 3035/2009 proposal, which guarantees a minimum threshold for the replacement rate of the direct pension, this study provides a rigorous actuarial mathematical model that explains a sort of rate of contribution at a tendential equilibrium, in a pay-as-you-go pension system. This model reveals for which parameters it is possible to intervene to maintain the standard of living in retirement.

AbstractPopulation aging challenges pay-as-you-go pension systems. Solving the associated funding problem constantly motivates reform processes. In addition to an aging population, specific regulations of the German public pension system lead to an increasing financial burden of national finances. To ensure sustainable funding of pensions, the calculation formula of the German public pension system will be investigated in this paper. It will be shown, that there are two alterable parameters, which are not optimally used regarding the funding of public pensions. Simulations show that a variable demographic factor to calculate public pensions can reduce the financial burden of national finances.

Redistributive Effect

Public pensions are a ‘social technology’ at the heart of most welfare states. The basic goal pursued by a public pension system is to make sure that individuals do not outlive their savings. An increasing number of states have recently moved to a system that matches individuals’ contributions over their working lives to a specific stream of revenue during their retirement years (i.e. defining contributions rather than benefits). As a result, intragenerational fairness concerns have started to become more relevant. In this article, we shall claim that, irrespective of how one conceptualises the welfare state, most public pension systems violate actuarial fairness and any plausible account of distributive justice, and that they do so for structural reasons. Studying the Italian case, we offer insights on this regressive redistributive effect, based on regional data, and offer an implicit policy solution to obviate this problem.

Growth Equilibrium

This paper examines the effects of unfunded public pensions on national income, growth rate, and employment in a model à la Lucas (1988) consistent with the empirical finding in Schoeni (1997). Our model shows that a public pension system can lead to a take-off from a low growth trap to a higher growth equilibrium.
