The Colloquium, co-hosted by CEPAR and the UNSW School of Risk & Actuarial Studies, is a unique annual event, bringing together academia, government, and industry to discuss the latest research on pensions, superannuation, and retirement. The theme this year is ‘Financing Retirement in the 2020s and Beyond’.
We specifically invite submissions on:
- The long-term impact of COVID-19 on the pension landscape (including on labour markets, asset returns, pension/superannuation regulation, preservation of pension/superannuation assets, sustainability of public pensions)
- New retirement income products
- Financing aged care costs
- Use of housing assets to finance retirement
- Pensions/superannuation and climate change (including impacts on asset allocation and investment strategy)
Contributions are also welcome on other topics, which may include but are not limited to:
Retirement benefits, public pensions; sustainable fiscal policy; taxation of pensions; regulation and performance of pension and superannuation funds, choice architecture and defaults; inequality and pensions; financial product disclosure; financial literacy, financial education and financial advice; fintech solutions; cognition and financial decisions of the elderly; retirement planning; demographic trends; longevity and healthy life expectancy; gender issues in pensions and retirement.
The Colloquium will also host a special online session on ‘Financing Retirement in the 2020s and Beyond: The Global Experience’, sponsored by the International Pension Research Association (https://www.iprassn.org/).
Early career researchers and especially PhD students are particularly encouraged to submit. A cash prize will be awarded for the ‘Best PhD Paper Presentation.’
