很少有退休人员将任何财富年金化,这一事实迄今为止在前瞻性的标准框架内无法解释,预期效用最大化代理人。遗赠动机似乎是一个自然的解释。然而,流行的观点是,具有合理遗赠动机的人应该将他们的部分财富年金化,因此遗赠动机不能解释为什么大多数人不将任何财富年金化。然而,我表明,具有合理遗赠动机的人可能会更好地不在可用利率下将任何财富年金化。有证据表明,遗赠动机在限制年金需求方面发挥着核心作用。
Few retirees annuitize any wealth, a fact that has so far defied explanation within the standard framework of forward-looking, expected utility-maximizing agents. Bequest motives seem a natural explanation. Yet the prevailing view is that people with plausible bequest motives should annuitize part of their wealth, and thus that bequest motives cannot explain why most people do not annuitize any wealth. I show, however, that people with plausible bequest motives are likely to be better off not annuitizing any wealth at available rates. The evidence suggests that bequest motives play a central role in limiting the demand for annuities.
