The Many Definitions of Social Security Privatization

Don Fullerton, University of Texas at Austin
Michael Geruso, National Instruments

Abstract

Definitions can matter, and Don Fullerton and Michael Geruso argue that proponents of social security privatization mean a host of different things by "privatization." They point out that many of the gains from privatization seen by economists like Martin Feldstein and Laurence Kotlikoff owe to only a few aspects of privatization.
