Insuring uninsurable income
This paper presents a method to avoid the ominous prediction of the previous work: if insured incomes of infinitely lived individuals are unobservable, then efficient allocations lead to permanent welfare inequality between individuals and immiseration of society. This paper proposes a mechanism that (i) promises within-period full insurance by postponing risks ; (ii) does not lead to social ranking among the same age groups; and (iii) could be sustainable.
