The empirical retirement literature measures individual responses to variation in income flows due to public transfers, private individual or employer-provided pensions. The novelty of this paper is to provide a decomposition the incentive effects from these three sources. It is the first time that the effects of pay policies of different employers on retirement outcomes is explicitly modelled ...

Many households neglect the pivotal task of planning for retirement. Proposals to stimulate employees to save for retirement in the workplace include tax subsidies, which are costly, and using automatic defaults, which may not complement the heterogeneous preferences of savers. This randomized field study shows that an information-based intervention increases reported retirement plan participat...

The software community has been so much focused on creating and improving development and evolution processes, so that it has completely forgotten retirement. Today, there are no retirement process models whatsoever despite the fact that many software organizations desperately need guidelines for retiring their old software systems. In this paper, we elicit a retirement process model and compar...

• In addition to accumulating and wisely investing retirement plan assets, individuals reaching retirement age are faced with the question of how to manage these assets so they last throughout retirement. With the first wave of baby boomers hitting retirement just six years from now (in 2011), this question becomes more immediate; until now, there has been much less public debate and even less ...

We address the optimal consumption-investment-retirement problem considering stochastic labor income. We study the Merton problem assuming that the agent has to take four different decisions: the retirement date which is irreversible; the labor and the consumption rate and the portfolio decision before retirement. After retirement the agent only chooses the portfolio and the consumption rate. W...

This article presents four measures of equivalent retirement ages to be considered when analyzing retirement age issues. Insofar as previous research reveals significant sex differences in life expectancy at the older ages, the analysis here extends the question of equity when increased retirement age is considered by examining each measure separately for men and for women. The measures are app...

Cognitive impairment has emerged as a major driver of disability in old age, with profound effects on individual well-being and decision making at older ages. In the light of policies aimed at postponing retirement ages, an important question is whether continued labour supply helps to maintain high levels of cognition at older ages. We use data of older men from the US Health and Retirement St...

In this paper we describe "Lazy Retirement" a poweraware improvement to the Intel’s P6 family microarchitecture. Lazy Retirement significantly reduces the energy and power involved in register retirement. Lazy Retirement delays the copy from the physical register file (ROB) to the architectural (real) register file (RRF) until it has no choice and the physical register has to be re-used. In man...
