虽然消除贫困的政策仍然是成员国的责任，但欧盟可能在制定最低标准方面发挥作用。本文探讨了欧洲最低养老金制度的含义。一个全欧洲范围的税收优惠原型微观模拟模型被用来检验改革的分配影响，询问这样的政策在多大程度上针对最贫穷的养老金领取者。我们的结论是，制定保护欧洲最贫穷人口的政策不仅需要了解这一群体的情况，而且还需要了解用来确定这一群体的假设。伦敦政治经济学院版权所有2002年
While policies to eliminate poverty remain the responsibility of member states, the European Union may have a role to play in setting minimum standards. This paper explores the implications of a European Minimum Pension. A prototype Europe-wide tax benefit microsimulation model is used to examine the distributional impact of the reform, asking how far such a policy is "targeted" on the poorest pensioners. We conclude that the formulation of policy for the protection of Europe's poorest people requires an appreciation not only of the situation of this group, but also of the assumptions that have been used to identify it.
