| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines the factors associated with the timing of overfunded pension plan termination. From a survey of corporate executives from plan terminating firms, four factors are identified as key determinants in the termination decision: (1) the type, quality, and appropriateness of employee benefits: (2) merger or takeover; (3) financial health; and (4) tax considerations. A logit analysis involving 172 terminations from the period 1980 to 1989 was then conducted to empirically investigate the financial determinants of plan termination. |
