1 1 Statutory Pension Age, (Pensions Wealth) Present and Future Retirement Modelling Retirement with Preference Heterogenity, Microsimulation and Policy Analisys (work in progress)* Søren Arnberg 1), Anne-Line Koch Helsø 2) & Peter Stephensen 3) 1) Ministry of Finance, 2) University of Copenhagen and DREAM, 3) DREAM * This presentation presents prelimerary results that illustrates the joint work analyzing retirement by the authors. These results do not necessarily represent the collective view of the Ministry of Finance.

2 CONTENTS 1. Motivation 2. The Danish Settings 3. Retirement model 4. Microsimulation and predicting future retirement 5. Policy experiments 2

3 RESEARCH QUESTION 1 Recent Reforms of the Pension System (26 & 211) Indexation of Statutory Retirement Ages Mandatory Labour Market Pensions Expanded during the 199 ties Future generations will have large pension savings Will this result in earlier retirement and weaken fiscal sustainability? Pension Wealth divided by Labour Income 6 Years prior to OAP Men Pension Wealth divided by Labour Income 6 Years prior to OAP Women Unskilled Skilled Short higher education Bachelor Master Unskilled Skilled Short higher education Bachelor Master (OIM) (OIM) 3

4 2: FISCAL BURDEN OF AGING POPULATIONS Cutting Pension Benefit Levels (E.g. Germany, Sweden) Postponing statutory retirement ages (E.g. Denmark) Indexation of Early Retirement Age and Old Age Pension Age Year Year Old Age Pension Age Early Retirement Age Life Expectancy How will indexation affect the effetive retirement ages...(and fiscal sustainability)?

5 EARLY RETIREMENT SCHEME IS REDUCED Members of ERP-scheme (share of birth cohort) 5

6 APPROACH Recent Approaches Estimate Structural Model and Policy Experiments (e.g. French 25 & French & Jones 211) Evaluate reforms using dif in dif and similar (e.g. Cribb, Emmerson & Tetlow 216, Schaarup, Schultz & Søegaard 213) Using survey data (e.g. Maurer, Mitchell, Rogalla, Schimetschek 214) Our approach Estimate a Structural Model (using Danish Register Data) Microsimulation Model (MFI or SMILE): Future Income & Pension Saving Policy experiments: On older chohorts (with observed retirement) and future cohorts (unobserved retirement) Reforms used for model validation (increase in early retirement ages) 6

7 THE DANISH SETTINGS Old Age Pensions System From 65 and the rest of one s life (means tested) Weak economic incentive (OAP benefit level is increased with later retirement) Early retirement Scheme From 6-64 years, membership based (means testet) Strong economic incentives to postpone retirement until age 6 (62) Have to work until 6 to claim benefits Recent reforms / changes of economic incentives Increase in early retirement and old age pension ages Early retirement scheme reduced Labour market pensions scheme is maturing Healthy aging? 7
