Abstract

The Division of Policy Evaluation (DPE) of the Social Security Administration (SSA) has entered into two contracts with the Urban Institute to help it develop a new tool for analyzing the distributional consequences of Social Security reform proposals. The first, awarded in 1998, led to the development of Modeling Income in the Near Term (MINT), a tool for simulating the retirement incomes of members of the Baby Boom and neighboring cohorts. The second, awarded in 2000, was to expand and improve on the first version of MINT. In all phases of the project, members of the research staff at SSA/DPE collaborated closely with the contractors. The Brookings Institution served as a subcontractor to the Urban Institute under both contracts and the RAND Corporation participated in the development of the initial version of MINT under a separate contract. This report describes the work of the researchers at Urban and Brookings under the second contract.
