Also considered are the risks in the political process."--BOOK JACKET.
Private Pensions
Despite sizable tax incentives, private pension participation has remained at about 50 percent of the workforce. For those in a pension plan, there is concern that these incentives accrue primarily to higher income employees and do relatively little to help lower income workers save for retirement. This report examined: (1) recent trends in new private pension plan formation; (2) the characteristics of defined contribution plan participants contributing at or above statutory limits; (3) how suggested options to modify an existing credit for low-income workers might affect their retirement income; and (4) the long-term effects of the recent financial crisis on retirement savings.

Implementing a US Carbon Tax
Although the future extent and effects of global climate change remain uncertain, the expected damages are not zero, and risks of serious environmental and macroeconomic consequences rise with increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Despite the uncertainties, reducing emissions now makes sense, and a carbon tax is the simplest, most effective, and least costly way to do this. At the same time, a carbon tax would provide substantial new revenues which may be badly needed, given historically high debt-to-GDP levels, pressures on social security and medical budgets, and calls to reform taxes on personal and corporate income. This book is about the practicalities of introducing a c...
