Set Up

Summary: This paper focuses on the development of the funded, occupational pension (OP) system in Denmark. Launched in 1987, as a grand agreement between social partners backed by the government, and as part of the collective wage bargaining process, the Danish OP system differs from the set-up in most other countries, where OP schemes typically have been introduced as part of the legislative process. The OP schemes, being a major component of the overall Danish pension system, have attracted a lot of international attention in recent years and play a key role behind the system’s success with respect to achieving satisfactory coverage, providing high replacement rates and not least, for keeping fiscal policy on a sustainable path. Finally, the paper discusses a number of future challenges, mainly related to the interaction between private and public pensions in a welfare state.

Over Time

Prevailing folklore in New Zealand has it that wage bargaining outcomes are unduly inflexible. Implicit contract theory suggests that while wages may be sticky and somewhat rigid within a single wage round, stzckiness will diminish over time as wages become responsive to outside economic forces. This paper examines the hypothesis that the stickiness of wage settlements diminishes over time and develops 4 criteria for testing that hypothesis. Data for all settlements regiqtered with the Arbitration Commission since 1984 are used. Analysis of the data indicates that despite folklore to the contrary, a very important degree of wage flexibility exists.
