Lifetime income redistribution by social security.

"This paper discusses the redistributive impact of the Dutch social security system on lifetime basis. Net benefits appear to be positive for the birth generations up to 1960. Social insurances show a declining net benefit, whereas for occupational pensions the reverse holds. It is generally assumed that flat-rated social security schemes are more redistributive ones than wage-related scheme...

Determining the optimal redistribution

The classical redistribution problem aims at optimally scheduling communications when moving from an initial data distribution Dini to a target distribution Dtar where each processor Pi will host a subset P (i) of data items. However, modern computing platforms are equipped with a powerful interconnection switch, and the cost of a given communication is (almost) independent of the location of i...

Redistribution policy: A European model

Following the rationale for regional redistribution programs described in the official documents of the European Union, this paper studies a simple multicountry model built around two regions: a core and a periphery. Technological spillovers link firms’ productivity within each of the two regions, and each country’s territory falls partly in the core and partly in the periphery, but the exact s...

Redistribution and Optimal Retirement Financing∗

We study optimal redistribution in life-cycle economy with privately observed permanent permanent earning ability types and mortality types. The novel feature of our analysis is that earning ability and mortality are negatively correlated. We characterize pareto optima and show that efficient allocation must satisfy an inverse euler equation (despite ability types being permanent). Hence, all a...
