[149]-156) and indexes. 330 8 $aIn this book, Peter Diamond analyzes social security as a particular example of optimal taxation theory. Assuming a world of incomplete markets and asymmetric information, he uses a variety of simple models to illuminate the economic forces that bear on specific social security policy issues. The focus is on the degree of progressivity desirable in social security and the design of incentives to delay retirement beyond the earliest age of eligibility for benefits. Before analyzing these models, Diamond presents introductions to optimal income tax theory and the theory of incomplete markets. He incorporates recent theoretical developments such as time-inconsistent preferences into his analyses and shows that distorting taxes and a measure of progressivity in benefits are desirable. Diamond also discusses social security reform, with a focus on Germany. 410 0$aMunich lectures in economics. 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aWelfare state 606 $aTaxation 606 $aCapitalism 606 $aSocial security$xFinance 606 $aTaxation$zGermany 606 $aCapitalism$zGermany 606 $aSocial security$zGermany$xFinance 610 $aECONOMICS/Finance 610 $aECONOMICS/Macroeconomics 610 $aECONOMICS/Political Economy 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 0$aWelfare state. 615 0$aTaxation. 615 0$aCapitalism. 615 0$aSocial security$xFinance. 615 0$aTaxation 615 0$aCapitalism 615 0$aSocial security$xFinance. 676 $a330.12/6 700 $aDiamond$b Peter A$0140552 712 02$aUniversita?t Mu?nchen.$bInstitut fu?r Wirtschaftsforschung. 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808145903321 996 $aTaxation, incomplete markets, and social security$9740303 997 $aUNINA
