Book Description
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. A general equilibrium model of overlapping generations that incorporates endogenous saving, labor force participation, work hours, and Social Security (SS) benefit claims. Three SS reforms are studied: 1) a reduction in benefits and payroll taxes; 2) an increase in the earliest retirement age, to 64 from 62; and 3) an increase in the normal retirement age, to 68 from 66. A 50% cut in the scope of the current system significantly raises asset holdings and the labor input, through higher participation of older workers, and reduces the shortfall of the SS budget. Increasing the normal retirement age also raises saving and the labor supply, but the effects are smaller. Postponing the earliest retirement age has only a negligible effect. Charts and tables.
