Amidst the backdrop of a fundamentally changed socio-political strategy within the German pension system towards a strengthening of private pension schemes, in Germany the principles of pension adjustments have attracted a great deal of public attention. In this context, the paper presents a relatively simple adjustment formula with an intrinsic distributional com-ponent. On the basis of the new formula, sensitivity studies concerning the well-being of the elderly in Germany are performed, and these results are compared to the well-being of other German age groups. The corresponding sensitivity analyses vary due to the parameters of the new formula, and, additionally, they are related to alternative pensions’ adjustment formulas in order to compare the diverging consequences of several formulas and their different underlying “philosophies”. The micro-data used is from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) 1984-2010.... view less

Vor dem Hintergrund einer fundamental veränderten sozialpolitischen Strategie im bundesdeutschen Alterssicherungssystem hin zu einer Stärkung privater Altersvorsorge haben die Prinzipien der Rentendynamisierung in Deutschland eine hohe öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erlangt. In diesem Kontext präsentiert das Papier eine vergleichsweise einfache Anpassungsformel mit einer eingebauten Verteilungskomponente. Auf der Basis der neuen Formel werden Sensitivitätsstudien in Bezug auf den Wohlstand der Älteren in Deutschland durchgeführt und diese Ergebnisse mit der Wohlstandslage anderer bundesdeutscher Altersgruppen verglichen. Die korrespondierenden Sensitivitätsanalysen variieren mit den Parametern der neuen Formel und sind zusätzlich auf andere Rentenanpassungsformeln bezogen, um die divergierenden Konsequenzen der verschiedenen Formeln und deren unterschiedliche "Philosophien" miteinander zu vergleichen. Die genutzten Mikrodaten stammen aus dem deutschen Sozio-oekonomischen Panel (SOEP) 1984-2010.... view less
