Joshua D. Rauh, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, discussed problems with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) in his talk "Hidden Debts: The US Government's Pension Guarantees," based on his paper "Financial Valuation of PBGC Insurance with Market Implied Default Probabilities." Rauh explains why the PBGC's assumptions paint a misleading picture, emphasizing how a lack of recognition of true insurance costs distorts the perception of the federal government's actual obligations for these liabilities. A video of his talk will soon be available.
