Fortalecimiento de los sistemas de pensiones con la seguridad social y la sostenibilidad en el centro: elementos para la discusión de reformas previsionales en América Latina a partir de la experiencia comparada

Por Juan Manuel Badilla Espinoza Los sistemas de pensiones en América Latina, en particular aquellos en los que se implementaron procesos de reformas estructurales tendientes a la privatización de la seguridad social durante las décadas de 1980 y 1990, no han logrado cumplir con uno de sus principales objetivos: otorgar montos adecuados de pensiones. Esta situación no solo es relevante al evaluar los resultados de los sistemas de pensiones que incluyen esquemas de capitalización individual, sino que toma mayor relevancia...

Por Alejandro Muñoz-Julve & Roberto Ramos En este documento se estima, a partir de una muestra de altas de jubilación de 2019, el efecto que el período considerado para el cálculo de la base reguladora ejerce sobre la cuantía de la pensión inicial. En particular, en el análisis se calcula la cuantía inicial de las pensiones para períodos de cálculo que varían entre 15 y 35 años, así como el resultado de restringir dicho período a los años más favorables de cotización....

From PEPP to Corona: European Aspects of the Dutch Pension System

By Hans van Meerten In this contribution, I will address some salient points in the Dutch and European pension landscape. For instance, the state of affairs anno 2023 regarding the WTP and the 'EU Pension Union' (EPU) will be addressed. What developments are there and do they actually bring the signalled EPU (in 2015) closer or further away? In doing so, I would like to address two topics specifically: the internal market for pensions and developments regarding the Corona pandemic,...

Time Consistency in Optimal Retirement Planning

By Frank Bosserhoff, An Chen & Manuel Rach We study time consistency in optimal consumption problems of annuities and tontines. We find the annuity problem to be time-consistent, hence delivering the same optimal consumption at each time. The tontine problem, however, is found to be time-inconsistent, opening the possibility for individuals to increase or decrease their overall expected utility by changing the ex ante fixed consumption profile. However, such an increase in the utility of the tontine cannot lead to...

Determinants of Portfolio ESG Performance: An Attribution Framework

By James J. Li We develop a parsimonious attribution framework for evaluating the ESG performance of a portfolio. Our attribution model decomposes portfolio ESG performance into three principal components: a value effect, a weighting effect, and an interaction effect. We illustrate our approach using the equity portfolios of U.S. public pension funds over time. We find that U.S. public pensions’ positive ESG performance over the past decade is mainly due to their underlying holdings boosting their ESG scores over this...

Global Pension Risk Survey: UK Findings 2023/24

By Aon The Global Pension Risk Survey has been running every two years for over a decade and it gives the pension industry great insight into how the pensions landscape has developed. The 2023 findings show that many pension schemes are grappling with recent challenges including persistent high inflation, rising interest rates and a raft of regulatory change. Schemes are having to prioritise carefully which actions they will address and when, while also navigating the risk of non-compliance as well as...

Preparing for an Aging Africa: Data-Driven Priorities for Economic Research and Policy

By Madeline E. Duhon, Edward Miguel, Amos Njuguna, Daniela Pinto Veizaga & Michael W. Walker The over-60 population in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades, tripling between 2020 and 2050. Despite this explosive projected growth, few countries in the region have implemented policies designed to support older populations. Further, little research in economics has specifically examined aging in Sub-Saharan Africa, though many opportunities exist for economists to generate research evidence to inform the design of...
