We set up an overlapping generations model with endogenous fertility to study pensions policies in an ageing economy. We show that an increasing life expectancy may not be detrimental for the economy or the pension system itself. On the other hand, conventional policy measures, such as...

How are notional defined contribution (NDC) pension schemes and fertility correlated? How is the return rate of NDC account determined? This study elucidates the dynamics of the correlations between NDC pension schemes and fertility by considering endogenous labor supply in an imperfect labor...
