Abstract

Abstract:Cet article étudie le choix des paramètres dans la conception du régime de retraite et dans les stratégies de placement en tenant compte de la règlementation et de l’organisation institutionnelle. Notre objectif est de déterminer si ces choix sont motivés par les préférences des participant·es au régime de retraite ou par la possibilité d’un transfert de risques injuste favorisé par une règlementation incitative aux effets pervers. Les résultats empiriques indiquent que les taux d’actualisation choisis par les régimes de retraite canadiens tant publics que privés reflètent les préférences en matière de risque plutôt que le cadre règlementaire ou les politiques incitativesAbstract:This paper studies the choice of parameters of the pension plan design and investment strategies in the context of the regulatory environment and their institutional organization. Our objective is to infer whether these choices are driven by preferences of the pension plan members or by opportunities for unfair risk transfers that are possible thanks to perverse regulatory incentives. Empirical findings indicate that discount rates chosen by both the Canadian public and private pension plans are a reflection of risk preferences rather than of regulatory structure or political incentives.
