Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book … consists of a collection of papers that deal with the effect the assumption of endogenous growth has on the functioning of public-pension plans. … This book is well written and I enjoyed reading it. To those who want to have a quick refresher course in the effects of public-pension schemes in growth models, this book is highly recommended. … I recommend this book as a compact survey and as a possible source of inspiration for those wish to begin research … ." (H. A. A. Verbon, Journal of Economics, Vol. 80 (2), 2003)
