The Influence of European Policy Coordination on National Pension Reforms
The Working Paper (WP) The Influence of European Policy Coordination on National Pension Reforms examines the influence of European recommendations on national pension reforms.
The study looks at recommendations to member states in the field of pensions within the so-called European Semester. The European Semester is a system for the coordination of economic, budgetary and social policies between the Member States and the European level. The authors, Floor Goris and Gijsbert Werner, investigate how European recommendations impact national policy. They also look at factors that determine whether pension reforms are successful and continued.
