Social welfare effects of annuitization in small open economies

open access: yesThe Scandinavian Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper develops a theory of when annuitization improves or reduces social welfare. The analysis is based on a small open economy with exogenous prices, populated by overlapping generations of non‐altruistic agents. Annuities provide longevity risk insurance and above‐market returns, but also reduce accidental bequests that transfer ...
