Evidence from the Norwegian 2011 Pension Reform" ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, das WIFO lädt Sie herzlich zum nächsten Termin der Vortragsreihe WIFO-Extern ein: Donnerstag, 17. September, 13:15 Uhr WIFO, Kleiner Sitzungssaal Josef Zweimüller (Universität Zürich) "Excess Early Retirement? Evidence from the Norwegian 2011 Pension Reform" Abstract: This paper studies how a major reform of the Norwegian pension system affected the labor supply and pension claiming behavior of older workers. The 2011 reform brought three major changes: (i) individuals may start claiming pensions anytime between ages 62 and 75; (ii) there are actuarially neutral pension adjustments for early/late claiming; and (iii) pension benefits are no longer earnings tested. This policy mix implies that the decision of claiming pensions becomes fully disentangled from the decision of exiting the labor force. Prior to the reform, only workers covered by a contractual pension scheme (AFP workers) had access to a pension between ages 62 and 67, while workers not eligible for a contractual pension (nonAFP workers) could claim pension benefits only from age 67. Moreover, AFP pension benefits between ages 62 and 67 were earnings tested and not adjusted for postponed withdrawal. Using a difference-in-differences framework we find that (i) removing the earnings test and introducing actuarial adjustments has large positive effects on employment rates of AFP workers, but a large spike in retirement at age 62 remains; (ii) AFP and nonAFP workers are substantially more likely to claim their pension already at age 62; (iii) labor supply responses of nonAFP workers occur only along the intensive margin, while their employment rates remain unchanged.

https://www.oenb.at/Termine/Terminarchiv-2015/2015/toward-a-genuine-economi… Toward a Genuine Economic and Monetary Union 10.09.2015 - 11.09.2015 This workshop's purpose is to inspire reflection on the long-term future of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Starting from current crisis-related challenges, the workshop focuses on four areas in which reforms might increase the resilience of EMU architecture and the prosperity of the euro area. The workshop intends to give an overview of the current state of economic research and the policy debate, with an emphasis on creative proposals aimed at overcoming existing deadlocks. The specific areas covered are in line with the recent "Five Presidents' Report - Completing Europe's Economic and Monetary Union": Economic, Financial, Fiscal and Political Union. ************************************* Wilfried Altzinger Department of Economics WU Wien Welthandelsplatz 1 A-1020 Vienna altzing(a)wu.ac.at<mailto:altzing@wu.ac.at> mobile: ++43 676 8213 4511 Research Institute 'Economics of Inequality'<http://www.wu.ac.at/ineq/> *************************************

September 2015, 13:15 Uhr WIFO, Kleiner Sitzungssaal Martin Halla (Universität Innsbruck) "The Intended and Unintended Consequences of Parental Leave Policies" Kommentar: Ulrike Famira-Mühlberger (WIFO) Abstract: The goal of parental leave policies is to reconcile family and working life, and to improve the welfare of children. In most OECD countries these policies have been expanded during the last two decades. Austria is among those countries offering a very generous system today (which combines paid parental leave with job protection) with take-up rates close to unity. We evaluate a major reform from the year 1990, when paid parental leave duration has been expanded from one to two years. Empirical identification of treatment effects is based on a sharp birthday cut-off based discontinuity in the eligibility. We show that this reform affected families far beyond the intended effects along the dimensions of maternal employment, fertility, and family stability. The effects differ sharply between communities with and without formal child-care for children in the relevant age and to a smaller degree across families' socioeconomic background. This suggests that the counterfactual mode of care is the main driver of treatment effect heterogeneity. If formal child-care is the counterfactual mode, an expansion in parental leave enforces traditional gender roles, increases family size, and has weakly negative effects on children's long-term human capital outcomes. Whereas if informal child-care is the counterfactual mode, an equivalent expansion increases labour market attachment of women and has a positive effect on children. In either case it increases family stability.
