We develop a retirement model with long-run income risk in which the wealth threshold for retirement is shown to be a … function of the extent of the long-run income risk. By devising a new numerical algorithm, we solve the two … strategies as suggested by the literature. Having derived the optimal life-cycle consumption/savings, investment, and retirement …

This paper uses a heterogeneous-agent overlapping-generations model to examine the fiscal and distributional consequences of introducing a means test in US Social Security. I find that a means test, that is, conditioning benefit payments on a household's earnings or assets, leads to a higher...
