Sustainability of pension schemes: Building a smooth automatic balance mechanism with an application to the us social security

By Frédéric Gannon, Florence Legros & Vincent Touzé We build a “smooth” automatic balancing mecanism (S-ABM) which would result from an optimal tradeoff between increasing the receipts and reducing the expenditures of a pension scheme. The S-ABM obtains from minimizing a sum of discounted quadratic loss function under the constraint of an intertemporal budget balance. One advantage of this model of “optimal” adjustment is its ability to analyse various configurations in terms of ABMs by controlling the adjustment pace. Notably, this S-ABM...

Health and Retirement: Heterogeneity in the Responsiveness to Pension Incentives

By De Fen Hsu, Melinda Sandler Morrill & Aditi Pathak Workers often time retirement around pension eligibility, yielding a strong instrument for retirement timing. By estimating the characteristics of the complier population, we find heterogeneity by individuals' health status in the responsiveness to pension-related financial incentives to retire. Workers in poor health do not uniformly retire earlier or later, but rather are less responsive overall to pension incentives. Thus, characterizing compliers may yield different conclusions than simple comparisons of means. Source...

In search of financially sustainable pension systems: three benchmark models

By Ekaterina Cuéllar, Daniel Gamboa & Waldo Tapia One of the great dilemmas facing countries around the world is to define a pension system that is financially sustainable in the face of increasing life expectancy, falling fertility rates and the consequent lack of generational replacement. Globally, pension reforms in countries with more advanced aging processes have focused on implementing parametric reforms and incorporating automatic adjustments of the main parameters to share productivity, financial and demographic risks. In this article we present the advantages...

Sistema de Pensiones para la movilidad social

Por Enrique Díaz-Infante Chapa Las pensiones son un componente esencial en la discusión sobre movilidad social, porque permiten que las personas gocen de una vejez digna y ayudan a contener la pérdida de bienestar socioeconómico en esa etapa de la vida. Además, el ahorro para el retiro acumulado en las AFORE impulsa la inversión y el crecimiento del país, con la consecuente generación de empleos. Sin embargo, en ausencia de una reforma fiscal, el pago de pensiones pagadas con recursos...

2022 Future Focus Survey: ESG and sustainable investing trends in Europe

By J.P. Morgan Asset Management While allocations to sustainable investing strategies continue to grow, the average allocation across Europe is relatively low, at 23%. Even in Finland, which tops the table, the average allocation is only 33%. It is clear that even in the region where sustainable investing is most popular, broad ESG adoption is still at the early part of its journey.* Interestingly, there is far more divergence among the investors within countries than between them. Therefore, we urge investors to focus on the...
