      Public social security systems may provide diversification of risks to individuals' life-time income. Capturing that a pay-as-you-go program (paygo) may be considered as a "quasi-asset", we study the optimal size of the ...

    • Habit formation, strategic extremism and debt policy 

      Matsen, Egil; Thøgersen, Øystein (Report, Research report, 2008-06)

      Thøgersen, Øystein (Report, Research report, 2002-12)
      Time-series analyses of output and productivity data suggest that shocks are fairly persistent. This has implications for the intergenerational risk-sharing effects of pay-as-you-go (paygo) social security programs. By ...
