Abstract

In spring 2007 the German government increased the statutory retirement age from 65 to 67. We simulate the long-term impact of this measure on the budget of the German public pension system. In contrast to previous simulations our results are based on a model that explicitly accounts for feedback effects between the development of the work force, individual retirement decisions and the evolution of the retired population in a consistent manner. Overall, increasing the statutory retirement age results in a slower rise of the contribution rate from 2013 onwards, and, from 2014 on the decline of the benefit levels is slowed. Furthermore, we find that allowing for different individual reactions only has a moderate impact on the development of the German public pension system due to the stabilizing effects of early retirement deductions. On the level of individuals, retirement income from the public pension system can be improved substantially by retiring later.
