Optimal Investment Policies for Defined Benefit Pension Funds

This paper analyzes optimal investment policies for pension funds of a defined benefit (DB) type.

In a new treatment, rather than permitting free-form messages, we instead allow only a bare promise-only message to be sent (or not). We find that bare promises are much less effective in achieving good social outcomes than free-form messages; in fact, bare promise-only messages lead to beha...
