Pensions in a general equilibrium model of Canada / by Joel Fried and Peter Howitt.: EC22-3/1980-168E-PDF
"This paper is concerned with the consequences on the Canadian economy of changes in pensions and demography, The issues involved are of current interest because of the major demographic shifts that have occurred since World War II and the recognition that such shifts will have a significant impact on total government spending on the elderly over the coming decades. The issues we regard as important in structuring a pension plan in the face of the demographic shifts that are occurring are the effects of the plan on: (1) the level of domestic savings and foreign investment; (2) the supply of labour; (3) the efficacy of short-run stabilization policy; and (4) the intergenerational redistribution of wealth and welfare"--Introd., p.
