Effects on Labour Supply, Savings and Welfare of the July 2007 Policy Changes to Superannuation and the Age Pension

该提案的核心问题属于“加强澳大利亚的社会和经济结构”的优先目标。鉴于人们对一个老龄化经济中私人储蓄总量和劳动力参与率的担忧，了解其他养老金税收安排的影响至关重要。低储蓄或低参与率可能会影响经济的持续增长。该项目的结果将表明政策对劳动力供应和储蓄的潜在影响。在进一步修改后，本项目开发的模型还可以处理不确定情况下生命周期决策中的其他问题，如劳动力供应、生育率或健康。

This proposal's central question falls within the priority goal of 'Strengthening Australia's social and economic fabric'. Understanding the effects of alternative superannuation tax arrangements is crucial in view of concerns regarding aggregate private savings and labour force participation in an ageing economy. Low savings or participation could have implications for sustained economic growth. This project's outcomes will provide an indication of the potential effects of policies on labour supply and savings. After further modifications, the model developed in this project can also address other questions in the context of life-cycle decisions under uncertainty, such as labour supply, fertility or health.
