Research meeting; Household decision-making surrounding pensions & retirement

4 October 2022 - 4 October 2022 - 09:45 - 12:45

On Tuesday October 4th, 2022 the Netspar research meeting on the theme of “Household decision-making surrounding pensions & retirement” will be held. Netspar fellow Thomas Post (Maastricht University) will present his latest project “Cognitive constraints, planned savings and downstream economic behaviors”. The second speaker is Netspar fellow Tabea Bucher-Koenen (ZEW – Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research in Mannheim). She will give an online presentation on her research topic Disparities in financial literacy, pension planning, and saving behavior (joint research with Andreas Hackethal, Christine Laudenbach and Johannes Kasinger).

Netspar research meetings are aimed solely at academic researchers affiliated with Netspar and are intended as a platform to present and discuss recent research on a topic related to the broad area of aging, pensions, and retirement. These meetings also facilitate discussions of future research topics and potential collaborations. The program will also regularly include informative contributions on current policy topics. It is our intention to organize such a research meeting four times a year. Suggestions on topics for future meetings are most welcome.

Kansenweging en de implicaties voor levenscyclus beleggen – Martijn de Vries – After lunch webinar

Veel huishoudens beginnen laat met pensioensparen, beleggen relatief weinig van hun vermogen in risicodragende activa en kiezen bij pensionering slechts beperkt voor annuïtering. Deze patronen wijken sterk af van de voorspellingen van klassieke rationele levenscyclusmodellen en vormen daarmee drie hardnekkige pensioenpuzzels.In dit onderzoek worden deze keuzes opnieuw geanalyseerd, uitgaande van een ander gedragsmodel: probability weighting (kansenwegen), een kernonderdeel van de cumulatieve prospecttheorie. Binnen de financieel-economische literatuur blijkt dit gedragsmodel bijzonder succesvol in het verklaren van feitelijk menselijk gedrag. In dit onderzoek analyseer ik of probability weighting kan fungeren als unificerend mechanisme achter de drie hierboven beschreven empirische afwijkingen.
