ABSTRACT

We measured the disposal income elasticity of the personal pension savings(hereafter, PPS) and analyzed its deduction effect. As a result, we found that the disposal income elasticity of the PPS was 0.404 during 1994-1997, 0.153 in 1998, and 0.31 in 2001, and the benefits of the PPS deduction were relatively beneficial to the high-income brackets. Although the PPS deduction was introduced to encourage a voluntary income security for the old-age, our empirical results imply that the PPS deduction does not function as an incentive for the low-income brackets. Thus, new alternatives are needed to introduce and implement so as to help the low-income earners prepare for sufficient income to expend during the old-age.
