What is the impact of pensions on saving?

The enormous growth in both Social Security and private pension plans has stimulated much interest in the impact of these retirement programs on individual saving behavior and the level of national saving. The first issue is the extent to which employees covered by pension plans reduce their own direct saving in response to expected retirement benefits; the response of individuals to guaranteed retirement income will determine, to a large extent, their well-being in retirement. For a nation concerned about saving and capital formation, the second issue is the impact of collectivized retirement saving plans on the national saving rate. This impact will depend not only on individual responses to promised pension benefits, but also on the extent to which firms undertake direct saving, and, if they do not, the extent to which shareholders recognize and compensate for unfunded pension liabilities. The effect of pensions on national saving also requires determining the degree to which increased saving induced by favorable tax provisions exceeds the loss of government revenues. ; This paper will lay out the questions that need to be answered in order to determine the impact of private pension plans on saving, highlight those aspects of pensions that may complicate the analysis, summarize the results of empirical research in this area, and finally make recommendations for improvements in the data.Saving and investment ; Pensions

Immunologic Aspects of Leukemia Virus Research in Humans

Author Institution: Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, The Ohio State UniversityRecent theory concerning the mechanisms by which RNA-tumor viruses are transmitted in animals and their genetic information expressed during embryogenesis and adulthood is reviewed. An implication of such theory has been that adult animals are immunotolerant to the group-specific (gs) RNA-tumor-virus antigens, though there is evidence that refutes this implication

Intra-Life Cycle Information Transfers

We investigate the presence of a shared life cycle component in earnings and test whether the earnings of one firm are relevant for valuing other firms in the same life cycle stage. We find that firm-pairs in the same life cycle stage have greater accounting comparability and greater co-movement in their returns, operating performance, and investments than firm-pairs consisting of firms in different life cycle stages. We further document economically significant transfers of information from announcing firms to non-announcing life cycle peers around an announcing firm’s earnings announcement. The magnitudes are comparable to that of intra-industry information transfers and do not depend on whether the life cycle peers are also active in the same industry. In contrast, we find that intra-industry information transfers are smaller for industry peers in different life cycle stages. Information transfers are stronger for life cycle peers that have greater (transient) institutional cross-holdings, suggesting that institutional trading is an important mechanism by which life cycle information spills over. Overall, this study provides insight into the factors that shape a firm’s earnings generation process and investors’ use of such factors. Furthermore, this study complements prior literature on firm life cycle by providing additional evidence on the importance of life cycle in the valuation process
