Verbesserung von Wahlmöglichkeiten in Alterssicherung und Gesundheitswesen von Joachim Michel, 06.2011
Selected for the Global Economic Symposium 2011
It is widely accepted that the aging population poses cost challenges for society. Increased longevity raises the health care and other costs of supporting the old precisely when labor forces in many countries will be shrinking or growing more slowly than in the past. Much of the debate on how to handle these problems has focused on either scaling back benefits or somehow increasing the degree of preparedness to pay these costs through more savings today. Yet, both options have proven difficult to advance. Given the pressures on the budgets of governments and private employers as well as the difficulty of cutting benefits, it is important to examine new structures of benefits and decision-making. One inefficiency at present is that many pension and related health care systems offer individuals little choice, yet individuals and households have heterogeneous needs.

Eliciting individual preferences for pension reform / Yosr Abid Fourati and Cathal O’Donoghue.
Pension systems have recently been under scrutiny because of the expected population ageing threatening its sustainability. This paper’s contribution to the debate is from a political economic perspective as it uses data from a Choice Experiment to investigate individual preferences for an alternative state pension scheme. Answers are used to estimate a life-cycle utility model of preferences towards pensions’ parameters. Results suggest that individuals’ value orientation is an important determinant of their preferences. Respondents’ income determines which degree of redistribution is preferred. However, preferences according to age are in contradiction with what is suggested in theory.

Reforming social security with progressive personal accounts / John Geanakoplos and Stephen P. Zeldes.
“The heated debate about how to reform Social Security has come to a standstill because the view of most Democrats (that Social Security must be a defined benefits plan similar in spirit to the current system) seems irreconcilable with the proposals supported by many Republicans (to create a defined contribution system of personal accounts holding marketed assets).We describe a system of “progressive personal accounts” that preserves the core goals of both parties, and that is self-balancing on an ongoing basis. Progressive personal accounts have two critical features: (1) accruals into the personal accounts would be exclusively in a new kind of derivative security (which we call a PAAW for Personal Annuitized Average Wage security) that pays its owner one inflation-corrected dollar during every year of life after his statutory retirement date, multiplied by the economy wide average wage at the retirement date and (2) households would buy their new PAAWs each year with their social security contributions, augmented or reduced by a government match that would add to contributions from households with low lifetime incomes by taking from households with high lifetime incomes. PAAWS define benefits and achieve risk sharing across generations, as Democrats would like, yet can be held in personal accounts with market valuations, as Republicans propose”–National Bureau of Economic Research web site

The third pillar in Europe : institutional factors and individual decisions / Julia Le Blanc.
This paper studies and documents household participation in voluntary individual retirement accounts (IRAs) in eleven European countries. Using recently available, internationally comparable data of households aged 50+, we calculate country-by-country average marginal effects of the probability to save in IRAs. We link the evidence from the micro data to the institutional differences in pension systems that prevail across the countries in our sample. Our results indicate that households participation in the third pillar varies substantially across countries, both due to institutional differences and household characteristics. Higher education is crucial for participation in countries with shorter traditions of IRAs where awareness matters most. Background risk due to expectations of future pension reforms as well as experience with occupational pensions increase voluntary retirement savings additionally for the currently employed individuals in our sample. — Individual retirement accounts ; pension reform ; consumption and saving over the life-cycle

Pension funding and individual accounts in economies with life-cyclers and myopes / Hans Fehr and Fabian Kindermann.
We study the inter- and intra-generational welfare consequences of alternative pension fund policies in response to unexpected demographic, financial, and macro-economic shocks. Our analysis is based on an applied OLG model of a small open economy with heterogeneous agents featuring a two-pillar pension system modelled after that in the Netherlands (with pay-as-you-go (PAYG) and funded tiers). We explore two policies to avoid underfunding of the pension funds. One emphasizes increases in the contribution rate, while the other emphasizes the reduction of indexation of pensions to price inflation and productivity growth. Our stochastic simulations show that the welfare differences between the two types of policy are generally small. They also show that the pension buffers are highly volatile when the shocks are drawn from realistically modelled multivariate shock processes. Underfunding occurs relatively frequently and in any case substantially more than anticipated by the Dutch supervisor.

Choice, price competition and complexity in markets for health insurance / Richard G. Frank; Karine Lamiraud.
“The United States and other nations rely on consumer choice and price competition among competing health plans to allocate resources in the health sector. A great deal of research has examined the efficiency consequences of adverse selection in health insurance markets, less attention has been devoted to other aspects of consumer choice. The nation of Switzerland offers a unique opportunity to study price competition in health insurance markets. Switzerland regulates health insurance markets with the aim of minimizing adverse selection and encouraging strong price competition. We examine consumer responses to price differences in local markets and the degree of price variation in local markets. Using both survey data and observations on local markets we obtain evidence suggesting that as the number of choices offered to individuals grow their willingness to switch plans given a set of price dispersion differences declines allowing large price differences for relatively homogeneous products to persist. We consider explanations for this phenomenon from economics and psychology”–National Bureau of Economic Research web site

Towards high-performing health systems / Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Elizabeth Docteur.
Although health systems differ widely in their design, in the inputs they use and the outcomes they attain, policy makers in all OECD countries share the common goal of achieving high-performing health systems. Health and health care have improved dramatically over the past few decades, but at a cost, and public budgets are feeling the pinch. At the same time, further opportunities to improve the performance of health systems exist. Developed nations are grappling with the issues of sustainable financing, equitable access to services, better health outcomes, consumer responsiveness and value for money.
