Document Details : Title: Pension Funding with Time Delays and the Optimal Spread Period Author(s): HABERMAN, S. Journal: ASTIN Bulletin Volume: 25 Issue: 2 Date: November 1995 Pages: 177-187 DOI: 10.2143/AST.25.2.563246 Abstract : The paper extends earlier results by demonstrating that there is an optimal range of values for the period for amortizing valuation surpluses or deficiencies, in the case when there is a one year time delay between fixing a contribution rate and the accounting information about current fund levels. The optimal range is compared for the cases where there is no time delay and there is a one year time delay. |
