The first paper examines Dutch collective pension schemes, which offer a third way between corporate defined-benefit schemes and individual defined-contribution schemes. The members of the fund are the risk bearers and the funds manage risk aimed at providing an adequate income level during retirement at low costs. Is this the structure other European countries will follow? Is it the structure that the U.S. and the rest of the world should follow?
The second paper considers how the design and production of pension contracts in Europe might evolve to allow greater customization to the different needs and circumstances of plan beneficiaries. It takes as given that the beneficiaries are rarely capable of making rational retirement saving, investing, and drawdown decisions on their own.
