Plan Designs. The participation and contribution of retirement plans depend on various factors. Plan design may affect employees’ decision of whether to participate or contribute the retirement plans. First, enrollment processes may influence an employee participation decision. Madrian and Xxxx (2001) examine individual 401 (k) savings behavior using employee-level data from a large, publicly traded Fortune 500 company in the healthcare and insurance industry for the years of 1997 and 1999. The paper finds that automatic enrollment results in higher 401 (k) participation rate. Moreover, a large portion of employees simply chooses the default contribution rate and default securities allocation under automatic enrollment. Second, plans with favorable tax treatment or other additional benefits, such as 401 (k) and other tax-deferred accounts, may attract employees to participate. For example, tax-deferred ac- counts allow employees to make pre-tax contributions and pay tax upon withdrawals after retire- ment. Under progressive tax system, plans with favorable tax treatment would protect participants from being taxed at a high rate and thus provide incentives for individuals to enroll. Third, employers usually match employee contributions to a certain percent. For example, Xxxxx (1995) and Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx (1993) analyze plan level data and find a significant positive correlation between participate rate and employer match rate of 401 (k) plans. Another feature of retirement plans is whether the plan is defined benefit or defined contribu- tion. In the defined benefit plans, the benefits are calculated based on an employee’ final salary and job tenure. On the other hand, in the defined contribution plans, the retirement benefits depends on contributions and earnings or interests on the contributions. (Xxxxxxx an Sunden 2001). Under defined contribution, young and mobile workers can easily track their savings in various accounts. Over the recent years, defined contribution plans have gained increasing popularity among workers and substituted a large portion of defined benefit plans in the U.S. (Xxxxxxx et al. 2001). The availability of investment choice of the retirement plans may affect individuals’ partici- pation decision. 401 (k) or similar retirement plans usually allow individuals to invest in a pool of financial instruments such as stocks and funds. Xxxxx-Xxxxxxx et al. (2004) examine employee records across more six hundreds of 401 (k) plans and 69 industries pro...
