Furthermore, the different discount rate and earnings assumption responses have led to very different risk-taking by public and private plans.... The important point here is not the cause of these differences, but the fact that nothing in actuarial standards of practice prevents these different approaches to risk evaluation and risk taking. The standards have not caused the differences, but they allow them."
