We consider to what extent the empirical failings of the Q model of investment can be attributed to the use of share prices to measure average q.

Using a sample of individuals aged 55 and over from the UK Retirement Survey, this paper models the probability of retirement in terms of the incentives underlying the individual\'s pension plan as well as other socio-economic factors.

Using three major UK pension reforms as natural experiments we investigate the relationship between pension saving and discretionary private savings.

In the November 2000 Pre-Budget Report, the government announced a major range of measures for pensioners. Some come into operation in April 2001, while others follow in 2002 and 2003. The most important aspects of the package comprised: above-inflation increases in the retirement pension; substantially above-inflation increases in the means-tested minimum income guarantee (MIG); and the introduction of a new element into the means-tested benefit system for pensioners, known as the pension credit. Overall, the package means the government will pay over 4 billion a year extra to pensioners (2000 prices) by 200304. It represents a very substantial redistribution in favour of pensioners, and particularly those on low incomes.
