Risicovoorkeuren meten in de praktijk: een expert-enquête – After-lunch webinar – Jan Franke

Netspar organiseert dit After-lunch Webinar voor (medewerkers van) partners. Hierin presenteren onderzoekers nieuw pensioenonderzoek, ontvangen zij feedback en worden vragen beantwoord. Zo brengen we wetenschap en praktijk dichter bij elkaar.

In dit online After-lunch Webinar vertelt Jan Franke (MU) meer over het onderzoek “Expert beliefs on risk preference elicitation methods”

Dit webinar zal in het Engels zijn.

This webinar will be in English.

Risk preference elicitation methods are widely used in academic research and financial practice, but there is no consensus on which method should be used. We study expert beliefs in the context of the Dutch pension sector, where providers are required to elicit participants’ risk preferences but can choose the method themselves. We survey academics and practitioners and ask them to evaluate seven elicitation methods along 8 dimensions focusing on external validity and test retest reliability. We find clear differences in familiarity and use between academia and practice. Experts in both groups express substantial uncertainty about external validity and test-retest reliability. Still, their ratings allow us to compare methods systematically. Finally, we analyse experts’ opinions about the effects of incentives and context on external validity and test retest reliability.

Vragen en input op dit lopende onderzoek zijn van harte welkom.
Dit onderzoek wordt uitgevoerd samen met Anouk Festjens, Jona Linde, Thomas Meisner, and Peter Werner (allen MU).
