Abstract

Este articulo analiza los efectos de dos posibles reformas en la financiacion del actual sistema de Seguridad Social en Espana, y cuantifica los efectos de dichas reformas sobre los principales agregados macroeconomicos. El tipo de reformas que se analizan son la sustitucion del actual regimen de financiacion de cotizaciones, por imposicion directa e indirecta, y los efectos de variaciones en plazo de calculo de las pensiones de jubilacion. Para este proposito se construye un modelo de equilibrio general de generaciones sucesivas con agentes heterogeneos, calibrado para obtener resultados cuantitativos para el caso espanol. Encontramos que el actual sistema de financiacion es susceptible de mejora en su eficiencia, medida en terminos de variacion equivalente en el consumo, si se sustituye total o parcialmente por un regimen de impuestos indirectos. Cambios en el periodo de calculo de la pension afectan fundamentalmente a las decisiones temporales de ahorro/desahorro de los agentes.
