Adequacy of Old-Age Income Maintenance in the EU (AIM) (2005-2008)

AIM was a 6th Framework Specific Targeted Research Project of the European Network of Policy Research Institutes (ENEPRI) coordinated by Jorgen Mortensen (CEPS). 

The project had two main scientific objectives: 

First, the work programme included an important research component addressing the methodology of analysis of pension schemes and pension reforms. This objective was achieved in two ways: (i) by undertaking model simulations in common and in a coordinated framework within a single work package and (ii) by undertaking a systematic examination of the simulation properties of simulation models including also models in application outside the Consortium.

Second, the project applied these analytical tools to examine the concept of "adequacy" and conducted research on the impact on the adequacy of pensions of parametric reforms proposed in certain general plans to ensure sustainability of pension systems. In general, the research on adequacy assumed sustainability and analyzed the consequences for the adequacy objectives.
