Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Limited Commitment In Older Couples 1: University of Oxford; 2: University of Copenhagen This paper studies to what extent marital and cohabitation decisions respond to financial incentives in a state pension. As is common in many benefit programs around the world, the Danish state pension pays more to individuals living alone to make up for the higher cost of living for singles. In response, at the age cutoff for eligibility, the likelihood of living alone jumps up by 0.2\% pt. due to both an increase in separation and divorce risk for existing couples and a fall in the likelihood of moving in with a new partner. By focusing on a subsample of individuals and couples already retired, it can be ruled out that this is due to retirement itself, which commonly takes place under an early retirement program which is not means-tested.
