报告摘要:

  Exploring the prefectural policies that permanently and temporarily increase pension levels in urban China, we use the monthly panel data from Urban Household Survey (UHS) to examine the household responses in an event study setting. For each pension increase, the reform on average increases per capita permanent and transitory pension incomes by 100 yuan and 50 yuan among the eligible households, respectively. The consumption per capita increases by 90 yuan permanently, yielding an estimate of marginal propensity to consume (MPC) being 0.9 for permanent income. The estimated MPC is much larger among the households with lower income. By contrast, in the estimating window period, we find no significant impacts on other household incomes, including wage, property, business or transfers, or other outcomes such as household size, structure, and individual labor supply. Among the non-eligible households, we find no significant effects on all the above outcomes.
