Abstract

This chapter compares the administrative costs of public sector defined benefit and defined contribution systems offered by the Federal government and many states. Administrative expenses are presented as percentages of both income and assets, and we discuss how administrative expenses might enter into the decision by a public sector employer as to whether to establish a defined contribution plan.
