Pensions in the U.S. Economy is the fourth in a series on pensions
from the National Bureau of Economic Research. For both economists
and policymakers, this volume makes a valuable contribution to
current research on pensions and the economics of the elderly. The
contributors report on retirement saving of individuals and the
saving that results from corporate funding of pension plans, and
they examine particular aspects of the plans themselves from the
employee's point of view.
Steven F. Venti and David A. Wise offer a careful analysis of who
contributes to IRAs and why. Benjamin M. Friedman and Mark
Warshawsky look at the reasons more retirement saving is not used
to purchase annuities. Personal saving through pension contribution
is discussed by B. Douglas Bernheim and John B. Shoven in the
context of recent government and corporate pension funding changes.
Michael J. Boskin and John B. Shoven analyze indicators of the
economic well-being of the elderly, addressing the problem of why a
large fraction of the elderly remain poor despite a general
improvement in the economic status of the group as a whole. The
relative merits of defined contribution versus defined benefit
plans, with emphasis on the risk aspects of the two types of plans
for the individual, are examined by Zvi Bodie, Alan J. Marcus, and
Robert C. Merton. In the final paper, pension plans and worker
turnover are the focus of the discussion by Edward P. Lazear and
Robert L. Moore, who propose pension option value rather than the
commonly used accrued pension wealth as a measure of pension value.
