  • Self-employed people on average prefer to continue working two years longer than their salaried counterparts. They are also more often uncertain about their future retirement age.

Dangerous Flexible Retirement Reforms – A Supplementary Placebo Analysis across Time

29 mai 2020
  • In the last decades, many governments have enacted flexible retirement reforms as a seemingly elegant way to increase older workers’ labor supply. Börsch-Supan et al. (2018) use the synthetic control method to evaluate the effects of flexibility reforms from nine OECD countries that came into effect between 1992 and 2006. To evaluate the significance of the treatment effects, the authors apply in-space placebo studies. This paper scrutinizes these results by applying in-time placebo studies.

Does Public Pension Funding Affect Where People Move?

24 oktober 2016
  • Past research has found that individuals are more likely to move to places with the best “bundle” of amenities and opportunities.1 Influential factors may include house prices and jobs, as well as government finances, such as taxes and debt. More recently, unfunded pension liabilities have raised concerns about jurisdictions’ ability to manage their finances, as an increasing portion of today’s taxes must be used to cover past shortfalls and future taxes may end up being higher as well.

Does Socioeconomic Status Lead People to Retire Too Soon?
Does Socioeconomic Status Lead People to Retire Too Soon?

24 august 2016

Individuals, on average, are healthier, live longer, and face less physically demanding jobs, so they should be able to extend the number of years worked. But averages are misleading when differences in health, job prospects, and life expectancy have widened between individuals with low and high socioeconomic status (SES). Thus, a single prescription for all no longer seems appropriate.
