| Annotation | What are the essential elements of social insurance, and how can we best model its economic consequences? This paper criticises what has come to be the conventional view that social insurance can be explained and justified by reference to the incompleteness of insurance markets. The paper develops a model of the labour market, and provides a different perspective of the role of social insurance. This paper was the fifteenth annual lecture of the Geneva Association. (RH). |
