New Commission on Pension Reform

Headlines can be misleading: In this interview with “Die Welt” newspaper, I argue that the expert commission on pension reform has a good chance for success. It will not be a “Heureka” moment, finding a new solution to make everyone happy. But it can negotiate and balance a compromise that works. Success will depend on the commission’s internal dynamic and on the strategic choice of the political actors involved. Experience with past commissions can teach us. Good luck!
