Sistema
de Pensiones y Mercado de Trabajo en Espanya ( with
S. Jimenez and F. Peracchi), Fundacion BBVA, Madrid,
June 2000.
This book is in spanish. It contains a detailed description of the
Spanish pension system, it history and current setup. We also describe
the evolution of social security expenditure, its determinants and its
relation with the evolution of the Spanish labor market and the
underlying demographic tendencies. The analysis is carried out at an
aggregate level first and then articulated by cohort and sex. In the
second part we use simulation techniques to compute quantitative
measures of the impact that pension legislation has on labor supply
decisions. Our main conclusion is that the current spanish system
greatly distort labor supply decision, especially of elderly and low
income people. We show that the utilization of the pension system for
redistributive purposes has greatly distorted its design and its
effects; it has lead to a situation in great need for drastic reform.
