Redistribution with unequal life expectancy

Jessen, Lasse J.; Köhne, Sebastian - 2026 - Original version: October 2023, this version: Januar 2026

Abstract We study life expectancy inequality in a Mirrleesian life-cycle framework. Life expectancy shapes the efficiency dimension of redistribution via the pension wedge. Moreover, cost- and preference-based channels arising from the income-lifespan gradient reduce the mechanical value of...
