摘要:
The proper valuation of annuity wealth is important for many empirical studies of economic behavior and the distribution of wealth and well-being. This paper examines Bernheim's argument that the value of Socia Security benefit streams should be determined by simple discounting, rather than by actuarial discounting, when consumers behave according to life-cycle principles. In a model having a more realistic mortality structure than his, we document the poor performance of both methods for a broad range of parameter values.
