Primary research areas
Household finance
Financial decisions of households regarding consumption, investments, mortgage loans, and savings over the life-cycle.
Pensions and retirement savings
Do individuals save enough for pensions, or do they save too much?
Asset allocation
Optimal investment strategies in financial assets for the individual investor.
I reveal the life-cycle impact of financial decisions.
My research is on household finance, pensions, and retirement savings. I study how people save, invest, borrow, and spend across the life cycle, and why their real-life financial decisions often differ from what economic theory predicts. This matters because such decisions influence not only individual well-being, but also the sustainability of pension systems and financial stability in society.
