Ειδικότερα, η εργασία του
Χρήστου Τριαντόπουλου είχε τίτλο «Public
Debt in Greece: An "Intergenerational" View of an Unsustainable Story»
και περίληψη ότι
«[…] in Greece, after a strong “haircut” (in 2012) and a
7-year (and more) fiscal adjustment and consolidation effort, long-term
sustainability of public debt remains at the top of the agenda, as the
burden-sharing equation of a sustainability path (via further fiscal
consolidation or via debt relief) seems very difficult –in terms of political
economy– to be solved. However, the story of public debt in Greece has also a
quite interesting “intergenerational” dimension that is related, on the one
hand, to the way the debt reached such extremely high and unsustainable levels
–based on the discussion of generational accounting– and, on the other hand, to
the impact the different sustainability paths has to intergenerational equity.
This paper analyses the sustainability story of the Greek public debt through
an "intergenerational" point of view. In particular, the paper (a)
analyses the fiscal roots and the structural characteristics of the Greek
public debt –during the previous decades– from a generational accounting point
of view, and (b) discusses the various (implemented or proposed) debt
sustainability paths with emphasis on their impact on burden sharing among the
generations […]». Περισσότερα διαθέσιμα εδώ.

Χρύσα Λεβέντη και
Μάνου Ματσαγγάνη είχε τίτλο «Disentangling
Annuities and Transfers: Redistribution in Greek Retirement Benefits» και περίληψη ότι «[…] the
objective of this paper is to identify the relative importance of annuities and
transfers in Greek retirement benefits and draw conclusions as to their impact
on intergenerational and intergenerational equity. As one of the core
objectives of a pension system is to redistribute income over the life span of
individuals, their equity effects are examined by adopting a longitudinal
approach. Using a representative sample of retirees from the biggest social
insurance fund of the country in 2008, we compare the balance between the net
present value of total contributions paid and pensions received by individuals
throughout the course of their lives. The difference between the two is the
implicit transfer that can be either positive (received) or negative (paid).
Lifetime retirement benefits were calculated according to the rules that were
in place both before and after the austerity measures affecting pensions that
were implemented in 2010-2013. Our findings suggest that the vast majority of
retirees are receiving positive -and quite substantial, in absolute terms- net
transfers from the system. This outcome implies that the underlying pension
rules seriously deviate from actuarial fairness and are thus violating the
principle of intergenerational equity […]». Περισσότερα διαθέσιμα εδώ.

Φαίη Μακαντάση, Δημήτρη Μαύρου και Κυριάκου Πιερρακάκη είχε τίτλο «Youth Unemployment and
Intergenerational Relations in Greece» και περίληψη ότι «[…] youth unemployment
appears to be a key problem for most contemporary European societies. The
official statistics manifest the severity of this phenomenon in Greece, where
the youth unemployment rate skyrocketed to 58.3% in 2013 and still remains
especially high (47.3%, in 2016). This paper aims to map transgenerational
relations in Greece and more specifically, how values and resources are
transmitted within the family and influence young adults’ (aged 18-35)
attitudes towards self-sufficiency, employment, entrepreneurship, risk taking,
along with their aspirations for the future. For this purpose, we use the
plethora of data arising from the European project CUPESSE (Cultural Pathways
for Economic Self-Sufficiency and Entrepreneurship), and by applying
discriminant analysis we showcase the exact nature of influence that parents
exert to their offspring within Greek families […]».Περισσότερα διαθέσιμα εδώ.

τίτλο «Intergenerational
Inequality & Economic Growth in a Panel of Countries» και περίληψη ότι «[…] the
objective of this paper is to determine the relationship between
intergenerational inequality, mobility and economic growth in the European
Union (EU). In the present paper, we try to shed light on the heterogeneity
that may exist among different state members of European Union regarding the
degree of economic growth and its impact on intergenerational inequality and
mobility Furthermore, our empirical studies suggest that there are discrepancies
among the state members of the northern and the southern part of EU due to
economic circumstances and the crisis. These findings are useful and may offer
important guidelines for both policy makers and researchers […]».Περισσότερα διαθέσιμα εδώ.
