The Gains from Pension Reform
We characterize pension systems along three dimensions: 1) actuarial vs. nonactuarial, 2) funded vs. pay-as-you-go, 3) defined-contribution vs. defined-benefit. Increasing the degree of actuarial fairness, by strengthening the linkage between contributions and benefits, reduces labor market distortions and may increase welfare in a Pareto-efficiency sense. Increasing the degree of funding impli...
متن کاملThe Dynamic Process of Tax Reform
The tax reform literature, pioneered by Guesnerie [1977], uses static models but implicitly views tax reform as a dynamic process, i.e., as a policy-maker implementing incremental reforms over time. This paper studies tax reform in a dynamic version of the Diamond-Mirrlees-Guesnerie model and focuses on a specific aspect of the dynamic process, namely, the implications for tax reform of agents ...
متن کاملEnvironmental Tax Reform: Efficiency and Political Feasibility
Command-and-control measures, despite their inefficiencies, are still the standard in environmental policy. This might be due to the fact that command-and-control instruments prevent monetary redistribution between sectors and households and leave property rights on remaining pollution with the emittents. The present paper interprets the no-redistribution policy as a political constraint and in...
متن کاملWhat Are the Gains from Pension Reform ?
This paper presents a unified analytical framework for the analysis of social security reform. It discusses reform along two dimensions: Pay-As-You-Go versus fully funded on the one hand, and actuarial versus non-actuarial on the other. Making the system more actuarial entails a trade-off between less distorted work incentives and intra-generational redistribution. Increasing the degree of fund...
متن کاملEfficiency Gains from Port Reform and the Potential for Yardstick Competition: Lessons from Mexico
SUMMARY This paper shows how measures of relative efficiency performance could promote yardstick competition between port infrastructure operators. The illustration is based on a study of the efficiency effects of the Mexican 1993 Port Reform. It covers the 1996-1999 period and relies on a stochastic production frontier to show that Mexico's ports achieved 2.8-3.3% average annual efficiency gai...
