1.Voluntary Social Insurance, job market
paper (submitted).
Abstract: We look at the consequences of allowing social insurance to
be voluntary when its coverage can be supplemented in the market. Social
insurance pool risks and social contributions are increasing in income, while
the market is affected by adverse selection. We claim that making social
insurance voluntary does not lead to its collapse since there are always
individuals either benefiting from redistribution and/or coverage not available
in the market. Also, participation in voluntary social insurance becomes a sign
of individuals' type and the market can use this information to design
contracts. Therefore the coverage of low risk individuals might be increased
and the effects of adverse selection are mitigated. The welfare consequences
depend on the status quo. If in the status quo there is no social insurance,
then there is a Pareto improvement, and in some cases all are strictly better
off. If instead the status quo implements compulsory social coverage, then
making it voluntary results in less redistribution.
