Theme Coordinator: Casper van Ewijk

Introduction
This research theme focuses on macroeconomic aspects of the three-pillar pension system: state pensions (1st pillar), mandatory supplementary pensions (2nd pillar) and private savings (3rd pillar). Our main research questions are:

  • What weight should be given to each of the pillars?
  • What is the optimal pension contract in each of these pillars?
  • What is the government’s role in shaping the system?
    You can find more detailed information about this theme here.
