Riassunto

The significant store of knowledge about publicly regulated pensions for old age has grown even more rapidly in the last decade. This book, first published in 1997, explores current research in four critical areas for pension policy: the political design of pension institutions; the iron links between fiscal deficits, private savings, and pension reform; how macroeconomic policy should be conducted after large private pension funds have emerged; and lessons on efficient organization of the pension industry, drawn from international comparisons including Australia, Chile, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom. The collection combines original theoretical analysis with empirical evidence. Simulations, case studies, and econometric estimates provide policy makers with information about the options they face, while scholars can draw on this book for refining their own investigations or research.

'The ambitious goal of this edited collection is to synthesize many of the lessons learned from previous reforms as well as to summarize the expertise on those issues that is most critical to pension reform: political design of pension policy, fiscal deficits and private savings in pension reform, and the macroeconomic effects of pensions. An introductory chapter provides a nice overview of the key issues, and as a whole the quality of contributions is quite high. Thus, this book is an excellent resource of policy-makers and specialists ... a good way of becoming acquainted with the area.' Economica
