Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ability to identify, quantify, forecast and manage the economic, demographic and financial risks that challenge the long-term objectives of public and private retirement income schemes is of paramount importance for creating and managing financially sustainable and intra- and intergenerationally fair public and private pension schemes. This Special Issue of Risks is devoted to high-quality papers that move the state-of-the-art forward with innovative theoretical, practical and policy-oriented developments in risk management. We welcome papers related, but not limited to, the following topical issues:
- Financial and non-financial DB and DC retirement scheme design and financial sustainability, risk pooling, intra- and intergenerational fairness
- Approaches in predictive modelling of longevity
- Policy and models for dealing with socio-economic differences in longevity
- Understanding rate of return risks in an ageing and overcapitalized world and what it means for the design of pension schemes
- Dealing with the longevity and rate of return risks in constructing the pension payout phase
- Individual and societal risks of incentives in work and retirement decisions (timing, saving/dissaving, etc.)
- Designing automatic balancing mechanisms for public retirement schemes
- Risk-sharing between providers and participants in the context of uncertain return and longevity
- Drawdown models for retirement savings
- Behavioural issues and their effects on pension outcomes and policy
- Issues, models and policy for within household risk-sharing arrangements for pensions
- The political risks and challenges for the outcomes (equity, stability, efficiency, etc.) of pension schemes
- Optimal asset/risk models for pension fund management
- Indexation issues in accumulation and payout phases of pension schemes
- Equity release mechanisms
