Abstract:

We develop a model in which agents face unemployment risk, but also age and eventually retire. The main objective is to understand how aging, pension benefits, and unemployment risk as well as their interactions affect the distributional and aggregate impact of monetary policy.

Age heterogeneity and the generosity of the pension system affect the aggregate impact of monetary policy because the differences in age-related responses do not offset each other.

Moreover, the ability to insure against unemployment risk and, thus, the strength of the associated standard precautionary-savings channel are affected by aging and pension benefits as they have a distributional impact on asset holdings in equilibrium.

We also review the question whether the middle aged could respond to a reduction in the interest rate by lowering their consumption because of a strong negative income effect.

Our framework indicates that it is unlikely that the middle aged– at least on average and for a typical monetary stimulus– would lower their consumption even if they do not benefit from any positive aspects of the associated expansion
