摘要
This paper focuses on defining Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC) premiums. We propose an analytical framework to analyze the effect of premium form on risk-taking by sponsoring firms in their pension plans. We show that risk-taking increases (decreases) when a firm's probability of bank ruptcy is superior (inferior) to the sum of the under funding proportion considered in the premium and of the minimum funding requirement parameters, this sum being divided by the level of the guarantee.
