Penrose interpretation: Roger Penrose, Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Gravity, Objective Collapse Rheory, Wave Function Collapse, Planck Mass, Schrodinger?Newton Equations, Gravitation, Spacetime

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Penrose interpretation is a prediction of Sir Roger Penrose about the mass scale at which standard quantum mechanics will fail. This idea is inspired by quantum gravity, because it uses both the physical constants hbar and G. Penrose`s idea is a variant of objective collapse theory. In these theories the wavefunction is a physical wave, which undergoes wave function collapse as a random process, with observers playing no special role. Penrose suggests that the threshold for wave function collapse is when superpositions involve at least a Planck mass worth of matter. He then hypothesizes that some fundamental gravitational event occurs, causing the wavefunction to choose one branch of reality over another. Despite the difficulties in specifying this in a rigorous way, he mathematically described the basis states involved in the Schrodinger?Newton equations. [detailed...]

Pension Fund Governance: A Global Perspective on Financial Regulation

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The academic literature on pension governance is sparse and this book will fill some important gaps by bringing together original contributions from around the world on subjects related to the area. The book initially lays out the main frameworks for pension fund governance and then goes on to examine global governance practice and experience and country studies on pension funds in the United States and Australia. The final section of this in-depth study discusses the role of government guarantees. The editors and contributors to this book have struck a balance between the various dimensions of the governance problem. Whilst ensuring that the theoretical frameworks are represented, at the same time, they have also recognized that it is vital to report on empirical work. Private pensions are examined closely, while also acknowledging that public pension funds are extremely important actors. Pension Fund Governance will appeal to academics and researchers of financial economics… [detailed...]

Pension Fund Risk Management: Financial and Actuarial Modeling (Chapman &, Hall/CRC Finance Series)

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As pension fund systems decrease and dependency ratios increase, risk management is becoming more complex in public and private pension plans. Pension Fund Risk Management: Financial and Actuarial Modeling sheds new light on the current state of pension fund risk management and provides new technical tools for addressing pension risk from an integrated point of view. Divided into four parts, the book first presents the correct measurement of risk in pension funds, fund dynamics under a performance-oriented arrangement, an attribution model for monitoring the performance and risk of a defined benefit (DB) pension fund, and an optimal investment problem of a defined contribution (DC) pension fund under inflationary risk. It also describes a pension plan from a dynamic optimization viewpoint, the optimal asset allocation of U.S. pension funds, the identification of stakeholders’ risks, value-at-risk (VaR) methodology, and various effects on the asset allocation of DB pension schemes. … [detailed...]

Pension Plans and Employee Performance: Evidence, Analysis, and Policy

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this provocative book, Richard A. Ippolito explores the relationship between employees` preferences for certain types of pension plans and their productivity. Ippolito begins by reviewing how pensions influence workers` behavior on the job, helping employers reduce early quit rates and increase early retirement rates. In a novel contribution, Ippolito then shows how pensions can assist employers in attracting and retaining workers who have personal attributes valued by the firm. Challenging the accepted view of defined contribution plans, such as the 401k, as merely convenient tax-deferred savings plans, Ippolito argues that these plans can help firms select and pay their best workers without expending monitoring resources. Building on hisproposals for managing private pension plans, Ippolito concludes with a blueprint for fixing the social security system that would promote incentives to work and save while at the same time improving the system`s financial condition….

Pension Policy in an Integrating Europe

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book focuses on pension policies in Europe and interestingly includes comparisons both within the EU and between EU countries and the US. The authors show how different countries are confronted with similar problems and that comparison of national experiences may be of great help for the ?open method of coordination? now adopted in the EU. The papers deal mainly with the effects of the huge payroll tax differentials between countries on individual retirement choices andthe labor market, with taxation of contributions and pensions, and with the portability of occupational pensions. The main impact on labor supply is shown to be early retirement due to actuarially unfair pension formulae. The authors also argue that the US experience shows that taxation of contributions and savings for old-age may not generate the hoped for incentive effects, while an example of inconsistent taxation of pensions is offered by Germany. Finally, it is shown that limited… [detailed...]

Pension Reform And Economic Theory: A Non-orthodox Analysis

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe book is the first of its kind to attempt to deal with the economics of pensions and ageing on the basis of a rigorous theoretical framework alternative to neoclassical economics. Sergio Cesaratto breaks the dominant conformism in the current pension debate and explains that the strength of the various reforms proposed depends on the validity of the economic theories on which they are respectively based. He also illustrates the relevance of the Sraffian criticism to undermine the theoretical core of the mainstream proposals. Academics and practitioners interested in the pension debate, welfare state, income distribution and institutions will find Pension Reform and Economic Theory of great interest, as will demographers, political scientists and mainstream economists open to dissenting views in economic analysis and interested in understanding the economic foundations of pension reform proposals.

Pension Reform in Europe: Politics, Policies and Outcomes

2008 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: This new book provides a cross-country comparative analysis of the key issues shaping the latest pension reforms in Europe: political games, welfare models and pathways, population reactions, and observed and expected outcomes. Pension reform has been a top policy priority for European governments in the last decade. Ageing populations, changing labour market patterns and the process of European integration are the `irresistible forces` pushing for reform throughout the region. The Political Economy of Pension Reform evaluates the political forces that make pension reform viable in different national and institutional contexts and the nature of political bargains, actors and cleavages surrounding policy change. The volume also examines the nature and outcomes of pension reform experiences in Europe, searching for a solution to the financial challenge posed by growing pension budgets.

Pension Reform in Europe: Process and Progress (Directions in Development)

2003 y.

Description: Book DescriptionFew topics on the economic reform agenda get more attention throughout Western, Central, and Eastern Europe than pension reform. And few other issues in the European policy debate have been more unevenly treated among European countries than pension reform. Because the difference between reform need and reform outcome does not appear to reflect the underlying reform pressure, one can only wonder why reform progress has been greater in some countries than in others. This book, with itscontributions from leading scholars and practitioners in economics and political science, attempts to answer that question. The results provide insight into the process and progress of European pension reform, for the benefit of the reform agenda in Europe and other regions of the world. [detailed...]

Pension Reform in Latin America and Its Lessons for International Policymakers (Huebner International Series on Risk, Insurance, and Economic Security, #23)

Description: The experience of privatization of social security has been predominantly in the Latin American region. Eight countries have undertaken either full or partial privatization of pensions: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay. What did the policymakers expect? Were expectations realized? Can we learn anything from the collective experience of these countries? Can they be applied to other countries that are aspiring to privatize? How did the World Bank and other international institutions affect these policies? Pension Reform in Latin America and Its Lessons for International Policymakers analyzes in detail these important questions. The book begins with a detailed account of economic conditions in Latin America. It then discusses various models that policymakers rely on. Starting with a purely demographic model, it lays out advanced models of overlapping generations of Samuelson. The book gives extensive details of privatized pensions in each… [detailed...]

The focus of the book is the analysis of public intervention in individuals? retirement choice, its rationale and the desirability of legislation introducinga sizeable and compulsory increase in retirement age, to face the prospects of swift population ageing. The book assesses the impact of different retirement rules on individual decisions, on the sustainability of social security systems and on labor market dynamics, and inquires whether mandatory retirement has not become an outdated feature of modern pension systems. The motivations behind public intervention in fixing compulsory retirement rules as well as the likely consequences of allowing the individual a higher responsibility in retirement choices are analyzed. These issues are examined both theoretically and empirically and through a focus on country-specific patterns of retirement and on policy issues relevant at the European… [detailed...]

This study, however, also takes into account distributional effects involved in pension system structures. Theoretical, institutional and empirical analyses are combined to form a comprehensive framework for evaluating financial sustainability and distributional effects of the pension systems implemented in Germany and the United Kingdom. Along with projections of demographic trends and future public pension expenditure, the empirical results on old-age incomes and their distribution allow for identifying a number of reform options for each pension system to improve their financial or distributional results.

Pensionomics: On the Role of PAYGO in Pension Portfolios (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Pensionomics puts forward a portfolio perspective on the combination of funded and unfunded pension arrangements. In a second-best type argument it is formally shown that a Pay-As-You-Go pension system can substitute the tradability of human capital: if risk-averse investors were able to directly invest into the present value of future labour income, they would allocate their pension portfolios in both human and physical capital. While this ideal form of diversification can not be implemented due to the imperfection of capital markets, one can design a typical Pay-As-You-Go system in such a way that it allows for the same intertemporal consumption allocations as the first-best solution. This replication works regardless of the demographic development.Therefore, PAYGO should play a key role in optimising the risk-return combinations for old-age savings. Still, not all types of risk can be mitigated and macroeconomic endowment risk remains undiversifiable in any pension portfolio, even… [detailed...]
