The impact of scale, complexity, and service on admin costs

Using data on 90 pension funds from 2004-2008 this paper examines the impact of scale, the complexity of pension plans, and service quality on the adminstrative costs of pension funds, and compares those costs across Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and the US. It finds that, except for Canada, large unused economies-of-scale exist.
