As the ratio of retirees to taxpayers increases, concern about the high costs of providing benefits in a pay-as-you-go system has led economists to explore other options. One involves "prefunding," in which a person's withholdings are invested in financial instruments, such as stocks and bonds, the eventual returns from which would fund his or her retirement. The risks such a system would introduce-such as the volatility in the market prices of investment assets-are the focus of this offering from the NBER. Exploring the issues involved in measuring risk and developing models to reflect the risks of various investment-based systems, economists evaluate the magnitude of the risks that both retirees and taxpayers would assume. The insights that emerge show that the risk is actually moderate relative to the improved return, as well as being balanced by the ability of an investment-based system to adapt to differences in individual preferences and conditions. 410 0$aConference report (National Bureau of Economic Research) 606 $aPrivatization$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aSocial security$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aSocial security$zUnited States$xFinance$vCongresses 610 $asocial security, reform, investment, retirement, government, economics, prefunding, stocks, bonds, market, assets, risk, finance, privatization, congress, solvency, private securities, portfolio returns, capital profitability, accumulation, uncertainty, real annuities, individual accounts, international, wealth, nonfiction, aging, seniors. 615 0$aPrivatization 615 0$aSocial security 615 0$aSocial security$xFinance 676 $a368.4/3/00973 701 $aCampbell$b John Y$0117380 701 $aFeldstein$b Martin S$088785 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825226703321 996 $aRisk aspects of investment-based social security reform$94076895 997 $aUNINA
