Retirement Indexation in a Stochastic Model with Overlapping Generations and Endogenous Labour Supply

Ole Jørgensen

    Research output: Working paper › Research

    Abstract

    Using a stochastic overlapping generations model with endogenous labour supply, this paper studies the design and performance of a policy rule for the retirement age in response to fertility and mortality shocks. Two main results are derived: First, to oset a change in the labour force the retirement age should adjust more than proportionally to the fertility change and, second, to be socially desirable the retirement age should be indexed less than proportionally to changes in life expectancy.
