Abstract
This paper resumes the discussion whether a Pareto-improving transition from a pay-as-you-go to a fully funded pension system is possible. In contrast to recent work it is shown that in a model with differing individuals, where labour supply is endogenous and contributions to the pay-as-you-go system are raised as an income tax, its abolition is a Pareto-improvement if the labour incomes of both individuals do not differ too much or if the distortion by the wage tax is large.
