Produktbeschreibung
Pension reform is one of the most pressing issues on the current and future agenda of policy and economic research. Georg Hirte develops and uses a uniform framework for analyzing the effects of pension reforms on redistribution and efficiency among the different generations and the political feasibility of these reforms. He discusses current policies in Germany in detail and also deals with many other proposals which have been made to overcome the problems that have developed within the pension system due to an aging population. These proposals include smoothing the contribution or implicit tax rate, raising the retirement age, switching to tax financing, the accumulation of a capital stock in the pension system and the transition to a partially or fully funded system. The quantitative analysis is based on the Auerbach-Kotlikoff model. The main changes in this framework are a completely endogenous decision on retirement, longer life expectancy, unemployment rates which depend on age, implicit tax rates, and the relationship between the pension system and health, long-term care and unemployment insurance. Georg Hirte's results suggest that the efficiency effects are considerable and that switching to financing pensions through taxation is the most promising reform with respect to welfare, efficiency, redistribution, and that this is also preferred by a majority of voters. He also shows that a transition to fully funded system or basic pensions are opposed by a majority of voters.

Rentenpolitik für eine alternde Gesellschaft. Von Georg Hirte.

Die Rentenreform ist einer der wichtigsten Punkte im derzeitigen und zukünftigen Programm der Politik- und Wirtschaftsforschung. George Hirte benutzt und entwickelt einen einheitlichen Rahmen, um die Wirkungen von Rentenreformen auf die Umverteilung und Effizienz zwischen den Generationen und ihre politische Durchführbarkeit zu analysieren. Er untersucht, ob die derzeitige Politik in Deutschland und eine Reihe weiterer Vorschläge geeignet sind, die Probleme der Gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung zu lösen, die durch eine alternde Gesellschaft verursacht wurden.

The aging society imposes various problems on the German pension system. Georg Hirte discusses current policies and proposals to overcome these problems and finally develops a framework for analyzing the effects of pension reforms on intergenerational redistribution and efficiency.
