The concept repositions the traditional areas of Social Protection (labor market intervention, social insurance and social safety nets) in a framework that includes three strategies to deal with risk (prevention, mitigation and coping), three levels of formality of risk management (informal, market-based, public) and many actors (individuals, households, communities, NGOs, governments at various levels and international organizations) against the background of asymmetric information and different types of risk. This expanded view of Social Protection emphasizes the double role of risk management instruments - protecting basic livelihood as well as promoting risk taking. It focuses specifi- cally on the poor since they are the most vulnerable to risk and typically lack appropriate risk management instruments, which constrains them from engaging in riskier but also higher return activities and hence gradually moving out of chronic poverty.

  • A Viable International Tax-Order for Cross-Border Pensions
    University of Konstanz Department of Economics A Viable International Tax-Order for Cross-Border Pensions Bernd Genser & Robert Holzmann Working Paper Series 2018-02 https://ideas.repec.org/s/knz/dpteco.html A Viable International Tax-Order for Cross-Border Pensions Bernd Genser 1 and Robert Holzmann 2 (March 1, 2018) Abstract There is strong evidence that the existing pattern of cross-border pension taxation in OECD countries and beyond is extremely diverse and inconsistent and thus generates a double equity dilemma for individuals and countries alike. We argue that this dilemma cannot be solved within the current double-taxation treaty network and therefore propose a new conceptual framework for the taxation of old-age pensions in a world of high and increasing cross-border mobility of workers and pensioners. We demonstrate that a coordinated move to a front- loaded pension tax system and exclusive source taxation would pave the way for an international pension tax order which eliminates the double equity dilemma. As an additional innovative element of front-loaded pension taxation we discuss the decoupling of individual tax assessment and tax payment which may prove helpful by smoothing transitional effects when the front-loaded pension tax system is introduced.

  • What Are NDC Pension Systems? What Do They Bring to Reform Strategies?
    [Final Revision: 06 March 2004] What are NDC Pension Systems? What Do They Bring to Reform Strategies? Axel Börsch-Supan Mannheim Institute for the Economics of Aging (MEA), Mannheim University National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), Cambridge, Mass., USA ABSTRACT This paper has two parts. Part 1 presents the basic ideas underlying notional defined contribution (NDC) systems and discusses their main advantages and disadvantages. We argue that a NDC system is mainly a political device. It makes parametric reform, badly needed to stabilize the pay-as-you-go (PAYG) pillars all over the World, easier because it exposes the trade-offs and clarifies concepts. It may also change the microeconomics of labor supply and savings. It does not, however, change the macroeconomics of PAYG systems and thus does not substitute for the introduction of pre-funded second and third pillars. NDC systems can be installed as individual account systems, as done most prominently in Sweden. However, they can also be mimicked by a set of rules in a conventional defined benefits PAYG system, showing that NDC systems are more a political than economic devices. Part 2 describes how the German pension reform proposals made in late summer 2003 effectively introduce a NDC system without explicit NDC-type accounting. Address: Mannheim Research Institute for the Economics of Aging, (MEA), Department of Economics, Mannheim University L13,17 D-68131 Mannheim, Germany e-mail: [email protected] Acknowledgements: This paper has been written for the World Bank – RFV Conference on NDC Pensions in Sandhamn, Sweden, September 29-30. It takes as point of departure and owes much intellectual debt to Richard Disney’s 1999 paper.
