We create a simple overlapping cohortsframework to study the properties of indexing pensions in progress – emphasizinga neglected issue: close wage paths should imply close benefit paths even at realwage shocks. This robustness criterion of an equitable pension system is onlysatisfied by wage indexing, which in turn requires the adjustment of the accrualrate. To minimize the redistribution from low-earning short-lived citizens tohigh-earning long-lived ones, progression should be introduced.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Indexing Public Pensions in Progress to Wages or Prices}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/116844/mainFile.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cejeme.2020.133720}, keywords={public pensions, indexation, horizontal equity, pensions in progress}, }
