Abstract

Prior to the recent implementation of the Argentine Integrated Social Security System (SIPA —Sistema Integrado Previsional Argentino), the 2007 reform represented the first major change in Argentina's old‐age social security system since 1994. For the first time, workers contributing to the private defined‐contribution individual accounts scheme were able to choose freely to move over to the public pay‐as‐you‐go (PAYG) scheme. This study is an attempt to analyse the special characteristics of those who opted for transfer to the public PAYG scheme and to discover whether the behaviour of these individuals is in line with that of a “simulated worker” attempting to optimize income. The analysis includes an estimate of the probability that individuals with certain characteristics will transfer.
