Simple models of income redistribution[electronic resource] /by Andras Simonovits. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2018. - xviii, 292 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Introduction -- 2.Introductory tax models -- 3. Introductory pension models -- 4. Four pension models with two types -- 5.Proportional (earnings-related) pension system -- 6. Progressive transfer systems -- 7. Cap on contribution base -- 8. Voluntary pension system -- 9. Flexible vs. seniority pensions -- 10. Optimal child benefits and income taxes -- 11. Child support, pension and fertility -- 12. Models of political economy -- 13. Imperfect knowledge of the pension rules: irrational inattention -- 14. Dynamic extensions -- 15. Conclusions.

The rising role of intra- and intergenerational transfers (e.g. basic income, child benefit and public pensions) characterises modern economies, yet most models depicting these transfers are too sophisticated for a wider but mathematically trained audience. This book presents simple models to fill the gap. The author considers a benevolent government maximizing social welfare by anticipating citizens' shortsighted reaction to the transfer rules. The resulting income redistribution is analyzed for low tax morale, strong labor disutility and heterogeneous life expectancy. Key issues that the book addresses include the socially optimal pension contribution rate, retirement age, and redistribution programs. The author concludes by removing some strong restrictions and introducing median voter, incomplete information and dynamic complications. The book will be of value for graduate students and researchers interested in public economics, especially in public and private pensions.
