En France, une année supplémentaire au-delà du taux plein dans le régime général ne donne droit à aucune augmentation de pension. Cette taxe sur le prolongement d'activité distort les choix des agents en faveur d'un âge de départ en retraite inférieur à celui qui prévaudrait dans un...

It is argued that the tax on continued activity should be removed by implementing actuariallyfair schemes. However, these schemes cannot fund the expected Social Security deficit. This paper proposes to give individuals a fraction of the actuarially-fair incentives in the case of postponed...

Cet article propose une revue de la littérature des MEGIS en économie ouverte. Le MEGIS international de base est incapable de rendre compte de la synchronisation cyclique des PIB observée dans les données, de la faible corrélation croisée des consommations et des fortes variations du taux...

Comment assurer la pérennité de notre système de retraite par l'allongement de la vie active lorsque moins d'un salarié sur deux parvient aujourd'hui à prendre sa retraite sans passer préalablement par l'inactivité ou le chômage ? Nous montrons dans cet article qu'une partie du problème...

At the end of working life, as well as reducing unemployment benefits, the unemployment-insurance agency could apply pension tax instead of wage tax. First, the pension tax provides greater incentives as the value of re-employment is tax-free. Second, the short job duration before retirement...

This paper studies the optimal unemployment insurance for older workers in a repeated principal–agent model, where the search intensity of risk-averse workers (the agents) is not observed by the risk-neutral insurance agency (the principal). When unemployment benefits are the only available...

Transitions to floating exchange rate regimes have led to sharp increases in exchange rate volatilities with no corresponding changes in the distribution of macroeconomic fundamentals. In the spirit of Dornbusch (1976), we assess whether nominal exchange rate overshooting is responsible for this...

It is often argued that the tax on continued work should be removed by implementing actuarially fair schemes. However, these schemes cannot help finance the expected Social Security deficit. This paper proposes to give individuals on a fraction of the marginal actuarially fair incentives in case...

This paper presents a theoretical foundation and empirical evidence in favor of the view that the tax on continued activity not only decreases the participation rate by inducing early retirement, but also badly affects the employment rate of older workers just before early retirement age....
