Peter Broer is responsible for the topic General Equilibrium Models.This topic course offers an introduction to the use of applied general equilibrium models for economic policy. The identifying characteristic of the course is the use of numerically specified models for policy analysis, that yield quantitative answers to topical questions. The main issues that are addressed in the course are related to ageing and pensions. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to communicate the main insights from the literature orally and in writing and be able to critically assess the suitability of any given general equilibrium model for specific questions.

Short course discription:
Many Western countries will be confronted with a doubling of the ratio of pensioners to workers around 2040. This development raises many policy questions. For example, can state pensions and healthcare services be maintained in the future? What are the consequences of ageing for the distribution of welfare between and within generations? What is the role of the government debt? What is the effect of ageing on the interest rate and international capital flows? How should the government organize its taxation? What is the optimal design of nation-wide pension plans? Should pension schemes be reformed from pay-as-you-go schemes towards fully funded schemes? Should pension schemes be privatized? What are the benefits and costs of intergenerational risk sharing in pension arrangements? And so on.
