Abstract

The aim of this paper is to design an automatic balancing mechanism based on minimizing changes in the main variables that play a part in a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) pension system (contribution rate, normal retirement age and indexation of pensions) using nonlinear programming. This mechanism identifies and applies an optimal path of these variables to a PAYGO system and absorbs fluctuations in longevity, fertility rates, life expectancy, salary growth or any other random events in a pension plan.
