| Abstract: | This paper investigates the pension reform strategy that turns defined benefits (DB) public pay-as-you-go-systems into notional defined contribution (NDC) systems. It is shown that properly designed NDC public pension systems contain powerful economic and political mechanisms that may facilitate pension reform, but that the distinction between public NDC and DB systems is more ambiguous than usually claimed. |
