Political risk with automatic adjustment mechanisms for social security: Is “automatic” really automatic?
Automatic adjustment mechanisms for social security systems are an innovative and dynamic policy for dealing with the risks that affect the financing of these systems.

Sweden has been a leader in this area, but a dozen countries have adopted such mechanisms. A presumed advantage of these mechanisms is that once the adjustment process has been put in place, politicians are no longer involved and political risk is eliminated. This paper investigates why automatic adjustment mechanisms have been overridden by politicians in some countries. Factors include the size of the adjustment required and the timing of elections.
