The Wage Carrot and the Pension Stick

Retirement Benefits and Labor Force Participation

Laurence J. Kotlikoff, Boston University and NBER
David A. Wise, Harvard University and NBER

Kotlikoff and Wise document the continued backloading of pension benefits and the extent of retirement incentives by examining pension accrual in over 1,500 companies with defined benefit plans. They also perform a detailed analysis on the retirement plan of a "Fortune 500" company.

"The factual data will provide excellent reference material for a teacher or an advanced student interested in how pension plans have a differential impact on various groups within the workforce." Labor Studies Journal
