Х GDP growth rate Х Share of payroll in GDP Х Level of economic activity of population Х Birth rate Х Net migration Х Inflation rate Х Unemployment rate Х Interest rate Х Contribution rate (tax rate for UST) Х Pension system parameters (such as e.g., collection ratio) Х Retirement age The model employs a module principle based on the following sequence of calculations applied to each group of contributors and pensioners.Х Estimating the number of contributors and pensioners;

Х Estimating the average size of salaries and pensions;

Х Estimating the flows of pension contributions and benefits;

Х Balancing revenues and expenditures of the pension system;

Х Determining the key performance characteristics of the pension system, such as a replacement rate, etc.

To estimate the number of contributors, all employees in the economy are divided into three groups: (i) regular employees; (ii) those who benefit from the reduced UST rates, including self-employed; and (iii) delinquent taxpayers.

The number of pensioners in the model is determined using the Stock method, where share matrixes are defined for each type of pensioner, as well as for each age and sex group.

Then, to determine the number of pensioners in a particular group one has to multiply the population number in each age and sex group (defined by the existing demographic projections) by a respective value in the share matrix.

The size of pension benefit for each group of pensioners is determined based upon the overall amount of UST collection, the number of pensioners in each pension group, types of pension benefits established for these groups, as well as upon the adopted pension indexation rules. The level of administrative costs in the system is considered to be constant at 2 percent of the total annual PAYG benefits.

The NDC benefit is determined as accumulated notional individual fund divided by the annuitization factor that reflects the remaining life expectancy of the cohort and the notional interest rate. The annuitization factor is gradually increasing between 2002 and from 12 to 19. The initial notional individual fund for those who are enrolled in the system in 2002 is equivalent of the average monthly pension of 830 Rbl.

The overall inflow of revenues to the pension system is determined by the number and structure of contributors, average UST rates, as well as by the following factors:

Х Collection rate (currently amounts to 0.96);

The model considers two groups of contributors (regular employees and those who are eligible for reduced UST rates) and four groups of pensioners: old-age pensioners, disability pensioners, survival pensioners and early retirement pensioners.

Х Nature of the wage distribution relative to the regression scale of the existing UST rates; this factor is reflected in the model by the introduction of a separate coefficient of regressivity (currently amounts to 0.94);

Х Exemption rate for UST that reflects the average reduction in effective UST rate for contributors due to the existing legal benefits for particular groups of taxpayers, such as those who pay a single agricultural tax (currently amounts to 0.94) Average working life period is estimated as 30-35 years.

The indexation of benefits in the model is based on current legislation: the base pension is indexed with average inflation, while the NDC portion of the benefit is indexed based on the growth rate of the pension fund collections per beneficiary (which on average exceeds the inflation rate due to the growth in real wages).

The model calculations were undertaken without feedback, i.e., even if the pension system balance starts to accumulate considerable surpluses, the model does not provide for an automatic change in the rules of pension indexation. The logic behind such an approach is in focusing the analysis on what outcomes various indexation rules may generate (in terms of both the pension system balance and average replacement rate) if kept intact for a considerable period of time.

In addition to this, however, the model generates an alternative estimate for the replacement rate, which is the rate that could be attained at a zero balance of the pension system. To get this estimate in the model all current surpluses in the system are distributed among the groups of beneficiaries proportionally to their NDC pensions. This alternative estimate reflects a potential maximum pension benefit that could be funded by utilizing all collected funds (i.e., without running surpluses), but at the same time without creating debts in the pension system. In Chapter 4 we call this indicator of the maximum potential pension benefit as an Уaffordable replacement rateФ, and this is an indicator that represents the core to our analysis. In other words, we are especially interested in understanding for each particular scenario how much the pension system could afford to pay. It is assumed that if in the longer term the selected indexation rules proved to be too restrictive (as they seem to be now), they could be adjusted to allow for a full pay-out of available pension funds.

While statistical data required for building a full quantitative model of the link between the pension contribution rate and the taxable base for UST were unavailable, a numeric experiment was undertaken, which allowed estimating sensitivity of the basic pension system parameters to the cuts in contribution rate.
