Results; Appendix: Household's Optimization Problem; ReferencesWe compare the long-term output and current account effects of pension reforms that increase the retirement age with those of reforms that cut pension benefits, conditional on reforms achieving similar fiscal targets. We show the presence of a policy trade-off. Pension reforms that increase the retirement age have a large positive effect on output, but a small (and often negative) effect on the current account. In contrast, reforms that cut pension benefits improve the current account balance but reduce output. Mixed pension reforms, which extend the working life and cut pension benefits, canIMF Working PapersIndustrial productivityEconometric modelsBalance of paymentsEconometric modelsPensionsEconometric modelsElectronic books.Industrial productivityEconometric models.Balance of paymentsEconometric models.PensionsEconometric models.Cataln Mario1972-875623Magud Nicolas875624MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452486503321A tradeoff between the output and current account effects of pension reform1955061UNINA01994nam 2200505 450 991016405920332120210209192038.01-78372-920-1(CKB)4340000000020954(MiAaPQ)EBC4876855(Au-PeEL)EBL4876855(CaPaEBR)ebr11398330(OCoLC)990408948(MiAaPQ)EBC4682395(Au-PeEL)EBL4682395(CaPaEBR)ebr11271799(OCoLC)960163717(EXLCZ)99434000000002095420161122h20162016 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierGap year adventures an essential pocket guide to making it count /Tamsin King1st ed.Chichester, [England] :Summersdale Publishers Ltd.,2016.©20161 online resource (128 pages)1-84953-954-5 Front cover -- Contents -- Introduction -- WILD THINGS -- AQUATIC ADVENTURES -- CULTURAL ADVENTURES -- PEAK EXPERIENCES -- TRAINS, CAMELS AND AUTOMOBILES -- FLYING ADVENTURES -- SPIRITUAL ADVENTURES -- WEIRD AND WONDERFUL ADVENTURES -- FESTIVALS AND PARTIES -- Checklist.Gap years are bursting with possibility, begging to be filled with new experiences and unforgettable moments.
