The economics and psychology

of life cycle decision making

Theme 2009 - 20012

Theme coordinators: Peter Kooreman
Jan Potters

Introduction
Lifecycle decisions — especially with regard to pensions and insurance— are increasingly left to individuals. This Netspar theme aims to expand our empirical knowledge about lifecycle decision-making. In order to make better models, predictions and recommendations, we need a better understanding of people’s preferences, probability and risk perceptions, and decision strategies. This theme’s researchers use experiments from both economics and the social sciences to improve our knowledge of lifecycle decision-making.
