Growth and social security
Article Abstract:
Pay-as-you go systems often lower economic growth rates in endogenous models. This affects future generations. A move toward a fully-funded system can offset the reduction in private savings resulting from higher contributions, and help eliminate the impact on economic growth. An exogneous model of technological progress shows no impact on growth of unfunded pensions and convergence occurs in economies which have social security and those that do not have it. A fully-funded system still allows for higher output and capital stock over the short term.
