Underfunded pension liabilities threaten the fiscal stability of
many cities. While Detroit's bankruptcy has dominated the
headlines, the problem is widespread. With ongoing battles in many
localities, policymakers are increasingly turning their attention
to the legacy issues surrounding the funding of pensions. Public
Pensions and City Solvency addresses this complex fiscal challenge
and presents strategies to achieve financial sustainability.
Writing in a direct, readable style for a professional as well as
an academic audience, expert contributors provide incisive analyses
and practical approaches to navigating the fiscal morass in which
many cities find themselves. Richard Ravitch, former lieutenant
governor of New York, writes the Foreword and Robert P. Inman and
Susan M. Wachter provide the Conclusion. The book's three chapters
examine the issue from different key perspectives: Joshua D. Rauh,
a leading scholar in the study of unfunded pension liabilities,
provides an economist's perspective; Amy B. Monahan, a renowned
authority in public employee benefits law, illuminates the legal
framework; and D. Roderick Kiewiet and Mathew D. McCubbins,
visionary political scientists, put the crisis and its economic and
legal implications into context and lay out the necessary framework
for reform. The problems that arise from underfunded public
pensions are only going to escalate. Public Pensions and City
Solvency is a unique resource for decision-makers, policy-makers,
and researchers and a timely addition to the evolving debate over
what constitutes sustainable solutions. Contributors: Robert P.
Inman, D. Roderick Kiewiet, Mathew D. McCubbins, Amy B. Monahan,
Joshua D. Rauh, Richard Ravitch, Susan M. Wachter.
