Retirement system sustainability is defined as the ability of plan boards and managers to be responsible investors, active stewards, and allocators of capital to economic activities with desirable social and environmental outcomes. In this paper, we examine the policy frameworks and important structural variables pertinent to private retirement systems in Australia, the UK, and the US. By analyzing various reports, interviewing experts, and using data from the Principles of Responsible Investment as well as national pension and retirement authorities, we identify key structural challenges within national retirement systems. These include market fragmentation, principal-agent conflicts in personal pensions, and the role of service providers. Our results provide insight into how, or whether, retirement systems can facilitate desirable economic, social, and environmental outcomes.
退休制度的可持续性被定义为计划委员会和管理者成为负责任的投资者、积极的管理者和资本分配者的能力,这些资本分配给具有理想社会和环境结果的经济活动。在本文中,我们研究了与澳大利亚、英国和美国私人退休制度相关的政策框架和重要结构变量。通过分析各种报告,采访专家,并使用来自《责任投资原则》以及国家养老金和退休当局的数据,我们确定了国家退休制度中的关键结构性挑战。这些问题包括市场分化、个人养老金中的委托代理冲突以及服务提供者的角色。我们的研究结果提供了关于退休制度如何或是否能够促进理想的经济、社会和环境结果的见解。

We quantify the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on housing demand of Italian households by exploiting new information on their search activity on the market. The data comes from two unique datasets: the Italian Housing Market Survey, conducted quarterly on a large sample of real estate agents, and the universe of weekly housing sales advertisements taken from Immobiliare.it, a popular online portal for real estate services in Italy. The latter includes high-frequency and house-specific measures of online interest of potential home buyers. The pandemic induced a large increase in demand for houses located in areas with lower population density, mainly driven by a significant shift in preferences towards larger, single-family housing units, endowed with outdoor spaces. Fear of contagion, lockdown measures and the rise of remote working arrangements all likely shaped the evolution of housing demand, with potential long-lasting consequences on the housing market.
我们通过利用有关意大利家庭在市场上搜索活动的新信息,量化了Covid-19大流行对意大利家庭住房需求的影响。这些数据来自两个独特的数据集:意大利住房市场调查(Italian Housing Market Survey),每季度对大量房地产经纪人样本进行一次调查;以及来自Immobiliare的每周住房销售广告。它是意大利一个很受欢迎的房地产服务门户网站。后者包括对潜在购房者在线兴趣的高频和特定房屋的测量。大流行导致对位于人口密度较低地区的住房的需求大幅增加,主要原因是人们对具有室外空间的较大的单户住房单元的偏好发生了重大转变。对疫情蔓延的担忧、封锁措施以及远程工作安排的增加,都可能影响住房需求的演变,对住房市场产生潜在的长期影响。

The Effect of Bad Debt Adjustment on Repayment: Evidence From KR&C’s Dataset in South Korea 坏账调整对还款的影响:来自韩国KR&C数据集的证据

This study investigates the effect of debt adjustment for bad debts on debt repayment and discusses the optimal principal reduction rate. We use a logit model and propensity score matching, employing the unique dataset of creditors’ ledger, debt adjustment information, and debtors’ characteristics from KR&C, which manages bad debts in Korea. Classifying debtors into beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the debt adjustment program, we find that the repayment amounts of beneficiaries are larger than those of non-beneficiaries. Additionally, a quadratic function consisting of expected repayment rates and reduction rates is postulated to explore the moral hazards that may arise if the principal reduction rate is expanded, and an appropriate reduction rate is derived. We find that if the reduction rate is expanded from 60% to 70%, it does not reach the maximum repayment rate, but the effectiveness of the debt adjustment system and the stability of the fund are maintained.
本研究考察了坏账调整对债务偿还的影响,并讨论了最优本金削减率。我们使用logit模型和倾向得分匹配,采用独特的债权人分类账数据集、债务调整信息和KR&C的债务人特征,该公司管理着韩国的坏账。将债务人分为债务调整计划的受益人和非受益人,我们发现受益人的还款金额大于非受益人的还款金额。此外,假设一个由预期还款率和减值率组成的二次函数,探讨扩大本金减值率可能产生的道德风险,并推导出适当的减值率。我们发现,如果将降准率从60%扩大到70%,虽然没有达到最高还款率,但债务调整制度的有效性和资金的稳定性得到了保持。

Wealth Inequality in the US: the Role of Heterogeneous Returns 美国的财富不平等:异质性回报的作用
Pub Date : 2021-06-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3915439
I. Xavier
Why is wealth so concentrated in the United States? In this paper, I investigate the role of return heterogeneity as a source of wealth inequality. Using household-level data from the Survey of Consumer Finances (1989-2019), I provide new empirical evidence on returns to wealth in the United States, and find that wealthier households earn, on average, higher returns: moving from the 20th to the 99th percentile of the wealth distribution raises the average yearly return from 3.6% to 8.3%. To understand how these return differences shape the distribution of wealth, I introduce realistic return heterogeneity in a partial equilibrium model of household saving behavior. This exercise suggests that considering both earnings and return heterogeneity can fully account for the top 10% wealth share observed in the data (76%), which cannot be explained by earnings differences alone.
为什么财富如此集中在美国?在本文中,我研究了回报异质性作为财富不平等来源的作用。利用《消费者财务调查》(1989-2019)的家庭层面数据,我提供了关于美国财富回报的新经验证据,并发现富裕家庭的平均回报更高:从财富分配的第20百分位转移到第99百分位,平均年回报率从3.6%提高到8.3%。为了理解这些回报差异如何塑造财富分配,我在家庭储蓄行为的部分均衡模型中引入了现实的回报异质性。这项研究表明,考虑到收入和回报的异质性,可以完全解释数据中观察到的前10%的财富份额(76%),这不能单独用收入差异来解释。

Responsible Investing and Stock Allocation 负责任的投资和股票分配
Pub Date : 2021-05-25 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3853256
M. Brière, Stefano Ramelli
We analyze the portfolio choices of approximately 913,000 active participants in
employee saving plans in France. Looking at the cross-section of equity exposure, we
find that the inclusion of responsible equity options in the menu of available funds
is associated with a 2.1% higher equity allocation by plan participants. Compared
to an average equity asset allocation of 12.1%, it represents a material increase (17%
in relative terms). Difference-in-differences analyses confirm that the introduction
of a responsible equity option to a saving plan is followed by an increase of 7.2% in
participants' appetite for stocks, contrary to what happens with conventional equity
funds.
我们分析了法国大约91.3万名员工储蓄计划的积极参与者的投资组合选择。从股票敞口的横截面来看,我们发现在可用基金菜单中包含负责任的股票期权与计划参与者的股票配置增加2.1%相关。与12.1%的平均股票资产配置相比,这是一个实质性的增长(相对而言为17%)。差异中的差异分析证实,在储蓄计划中引入负责任的股票期权后,参与者对股票的兴趣增加了7.2%,这与传统的股票基金的情况相反。

A Household View of Making Purchases on Margin: Focusing on Divergence in Investment Literacy and Advice Seeking Behavior 保证金购买的家庭观点:关注投资素养和咨询行为的差异
Pub Date : 2021-05-19 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3849589

A great deal of research has studied the use of margin from an overall market perspective. However, very little has been observed regarding household decisions around margin use. The 2018 wave of the National Financial Capability Study Investor Survey provides unique insight into household margin use, and these new variables have made studying margin use on a household level possible. This study investigates the relation between both objective and subjective investment literacy, as well as the divergence in investment literacy and margin use. Results indicate that respondents who have a higher level of subjective investment literacy than objective investment literacy (investors who think they know more than they actually do) have a higher probability of buying on margin. This finding appears to be even more pronounced for respondents who receive investment advice from brokers compared to those who do not.
大量的研究从整体市场的角度研究了保证金的使用。然而,很少有人观察到家庭在保证金使用方面的决定。2018年全国金融能力研究投资者调查浪潮为家庭保证金使用提供了独特的见解,这些新的变量使得在家庭层面上研究保证金使用成为可能。本研究探讨客观投资素养与主观投资素养的关系,以及投资素养与保证金使用的差异。结果表明,主观投资素养水平高于客观投资素养水平的受访者(认为自己知道的比实际知道的多的投资者)有更高的保证金购买概率。在接受经纪人投资建议的受访者中,这一发现似乎更为明显。

Should Central Banks Use Distributed Ledger Technology and Digital Currencies to Advance Financial Inclusion? 中央银行应该使用分布式账本技术和数字货币来促进金融包容性吗?
Pub Date : 2021-05-17 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3849051

This brief is part of the Central Bank of the Future Project (“CBOTF”), a research project that seeks to identify ways that central banks across the world can improve access to financial products and services for underserved communities. CBOTF engages with scholars, financial regulators and policymakers, think tanks, financial institutions, fintech companies, consumer and community organizations, and other stakeholders to examine how central banks can evolve to better promote financial inclusion and financial health. CBOTF also works to find ways that businesses and nonprofits can work alongside government sector efforts for financial inclusion. One output is a series of working papers and policy briefs focused on specific topics.

This paper examines how central banks might use distributed ledger technology (“DLT”) to improve access to safe and affordable financial products and services. We consider how central banks might use DLT to advance objectives such as Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) compliance and discuss both central bank digital currencies (“CBDC”) and private digital currencies. We consider implementation challenges for these new approaches relating to interoperability, privacy, and efficiency. We conclude that financial inclusion is far from an assured outcome: central banks must work to ensure that any new technologies they adopt or foster do not exclude marginalized groups and instead focus with intentionality on low-income households. Moreover, difficult issues with respect to financial disintermediation, credit availability, and financial stability would need to be addressed.

This paper proceeds in four parts. Part II provides a primer on DLT and CBDC. Part III considers four ways central banks might use DLT to advance financial inclusion: to accelerate payments, to improve identity verification, to formalize collateral, and to lower compliance costs. Part IV focuses on DLT in the digital currency context, analyzing non-fiat DLT-based digital currencies and proposals to create DLT and non-DLT central bank digital currencies. Part V concludes.
本简报是未来央行项目(CBOTF)的一部分,该研究项目旨在确定世界各国央行如何改善服务不足社区获得金融产品和服务的途径。CBOTF与学者、金融监管机构和政策制定者、智库、金融机构、金融科技公司、消费者和社区组织以及其他利益相关者合作,研究央行如何发展,以更好地促进金融普惠和金融健康。CBOTF还致力于寻找企业和非营利组织与政府部门共同努力实现金融包容性的途径。一项产出是一系列以具体主题为重点的工作文件和政策简报。本文研究了中央银行如何使用分布式账本技术(“DLT”)来改善获得安全和负担得起的金融产品和服务的机会。我们考虑中央银行如何使用DLT来推进反洗钱(AML)合规性等目标,并讨论中央银行数字货币(CBDC)和私人数字货币。我们考虑了这些新方法在互操作性、隐私性和效率方面的实现挑战。我们的结论是,普惠金融远不是一个确定的结果:央行必须努力确保它们采用或培育的任何新技术不会排斥边缘化群体,而是有意地将重点放在低收入家庭上。此外,还需要解决金融脱媒、信贷可得性和金融稳定方面的难题。本文分为四个部分。第二部分介绍了DLT和CBDC的基础知识。第三部分考虑了中央银行可能使用DLT来推进普惠金融的四种方式:加速支付,改进身份验证,使抵押品正规化,降低合规成本。第四部分侧重于数字货币背景下的DLT,分析非法定的基于DLT的数字货币,以及创建DLT和非DLT中央银行数字货币的建议。第五部分是结论。

Racial Disparities in Housing Returns 住房收益中的种族差异
Pub Date : 2021-05-14 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3846569
A. Kermani, Francis Wong
We identify the existence of a racial gap in housing returns that is an order of magnitude larger than disparities arising from housing costs alone. The returns gap is driven almost entirely by differences in distressed home sales (i.e. foreclosures and short sales). Black and Hispanic homeowners are both more likely to experience a distressed sale and to live in neighborhoods where distressed sales carry larger foreclosure discounts. Higher rates of distressed sales among minorities are driven by pre-existing differences in economic stability and neighborhood sorting. Black and Hispanic homeowners are more likely to default in response to increases in monthly payments, consistent with racial differences in liquid wealth holdings playing a key role in creating the observed disparities. We use quasi-experimental variation in the receipt of mortgage modifications to show that policies that encourage lenders to modify loans when homeowners can no longer afford their mortgages can mitigate gaps in housing returns, particularly if they are targeted towards minority homeowners or neighborhoods.
我们发现,在住房回报方面存在种族差距,这种差距比仅由住房成本引起的差距大一个数量级。收益差距几乎完全是由不良房屋销售(即止赎和卖空)的差异造成的。黑人和西班牙裔房主更有可能遭遇贱卖,而且他们居住的社区贱卖房屋的止赎折扣更大。少数族裔的贱卖率较高,是由经济稳定性和社区分类方面的差异造成的。黑人和西班牙裔房主更有可能因月供增加而违约,这与流动财富持有的种族差异在造成观察到的差异中起着关键作用是一致的。我们在收到抵押贷款修改时使用准实验变量来表明,鼓励贷款人在房主无法再支付抵押贷款时修改贷款的政策可以缓解住房回报的差距,特别是如果这些政策针对少数族裔房主或社区。

'What Qualifies a Household's Living Standard as Middle Class?' A Note “怎样的家庭生活水平才算中产阶级?”一份报告
Pub Date : 2021-05-05 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3860761
N. Elhefnawy
This paper takes up the much argued-over term "middle class" and specifically the standard of consumption the term may be said to denote. In the history this paper recounts it notes the ambiguities and evolution of the term, but holds that in the post-World War II United States it denoted a certain minimum standard of comfort, security and opportunity for one's children (home and car ownership, health insurance, college for the children, retirement, and a margin of safety and resources for superfluities on a single income). The paper also argues, on the basis of the cost of the requisite amenities, the actual distribution of income and other evidence that far from being some broad societal norm all this is actually accessible only to a few, a fact which may be finding some reflection in the country's shifting politics.
本文讨论了备受争议的“中产阶级”一词,特别是这个词所代表的消费标准。在本文叙述的历史中,它注意到这个词的歧义和演变,但认为在二战后的美国,它指的是为孩子提供某种最低标准的舒适、安全和机会(住房和汽车所有权、医疗保险、孩子的大学教育、退休,以及单一收入下的安全边际和奢侈资源)。文章还认为,根据必要设施的成本、收入的实际分配和其他证据,所有这些远不是广泛的社会规范,实际上只有少数人能享受到,这一事实可能在这个国家不断变化的政治中得到一些反映。

In the history this paper recounts it notes the ambiguities and evolution of the term, but holds that in the post-World War II United States it denoted a certain minimum standard of comfort, security and opportunity for one's children (home and car ownership, health insurance, college for the children, retirement, and a margin of safety and resources for superfluities on a single income). The paper also argues, on the basis of the cost of the requisite amenities, the actual distribution of income and other evidence that far from being some broad societal norm all this is actually accessible only to a few, a fact which may be finding some reflection in the country's shifting politics.","PeriodicalId":428959,"journal":{"name":"Household Finance eJournal","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125257379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Behaviour and Biases of Retail Investors: Task or Trait? 散户投资者的行为与偏见:任务还是特质?
Pub Date : 2021-04-29 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3791634
Constantinos Antoniou, C. Firth, David Leake, Neil Stewart
We ask to what extent task knowledge and tactics, or enduring personality traits, predict behaviour and biases in a stock trading setting. We base our study on an exceptionally wide-ranging dataset: responses to a self-report survey, together with transactional data of the same individual customers of a UK brokerage. From the survey we estimate measures of domain-general personality traits, such as the Big Five, and task-related measures of financial literacy, competency and attitude specific to trading. Our results show the dominance of task measures over trait measures, when predicting nine different dependent variables of investment performance, biases and portfolio activity. We argue that researchers into financial decisions should consider a rich set of explanatory factors.
我们询问任务知识和策略,或持久的人格特征,在多大程度上预测股票交易环境中的行为和偏见。我们的研究基于一个非常广泛的数据集:对一项自我报告调查的回应,以及一家英国经纪公司同一个人客户的交易数据。从调查中,我们估计了领域一般人格特征的测量,如五大人格特征,以及与任务相关的金融素养、能力和交易态度的测量。我们的研究结果表明,在预测投资业绩、偏差和投资组合活动的九个不同因变量时,任务测量比特征测量占主导地位。我们认为,研究财务决策的人应该考虑一套丰富的解释因素。
