“Impacts of Retirement on Cognitive Abilities”

Date: Friday 1 september

Time: 10:40-11:45

Room: B5002 or zoom https://ju-se.zoom.us/j/67328311745?pwd=WDhvOHlEYjBEWWpqUkxyeXBQYmpjQT09

Meeting ID: 673 2831 1745

Passcode: 632906

Abstract: We investigate the causal link between retirement and various cognitive performance metrics, such as mathematical ability, episodic memory, and verbal fluency. Utilizing a fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) and data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), we analyze shifts in retirement probabilities at both early and statutory retirement ages. The results reveal a short-term positive influence of retirement on cognitive performance, which transitions to a negative impact over the long term. The effects of retirement on cognitive ability are more pronounced for individuals who faced high work constraints, limited freedom, and high job complexity during their working years.

Van Trong Nguyen is a 2nd year student at our Master program, Applied Economics and Data Analysis. This paper is a revised version of Van Trong’s written assignment for the Public Economics module in the course Applied Economics for Decision-Making.

Welcome to Johannes Hagen´s Docent lecture in Economics with the title

”The Swedish Retirement Enigma”

on Tuesday, 12th of September at 1 pm in B3052

Members of the docent board are Leona Achtenhagen, Scott Hacker and Pär Sjölander.

Short description of the lecture:
This lecture examines the intricacies of Sweden's internationally acclaimed pension system. While actual pension levels in Sweden are higher than commonly perceived, they coincide with rising inequality and growing system complexity. Many actively manage their pensions, but evidence also points to widespread inertia among retirement savers. The lecture also discusses policy directions for the future.

If you cannot join in person you can join on Zoom:
