Take the case of Chile, where in 1981 the country moved to a system of investment accounts similar to the one proposed by President Bush. Since its inception, the personal accounts have averaged returns of 10 percent a year above inflation. We have data much closer to home that we could study. I don't know why no one has looked at it. When the feds converted from their fixed annuity system, CSRS, to a combination fixed annuity and personal accounts, FERS, new employees were automatically assigned to FERS but older employees had the option of sticking with the old system or converting. It would be useful to look at how many opted to convert and how they fared compared to those who stuck with the fixed annuity.
