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/ .

Survivor Benefits, Self-Insurance, and Gender Inequality: Evidence from Sweden 1: University of Cologne; 2: University of Hohenheim; 3: IFAU; 4: ECONtribute; 5: CEPR; 6: CESifo; 7: UCLS Uppsala; 8: IZA We analyze the causal effects of survivor benefits on women’s labor and capital market decisions. We exploit a cohort-based reform in Sweden in 1990 that sharply reduced survivor benefits. To estimate how women compensate for a loss of public insurance, we apply regression discontinuity and differences-in-differences designs to estimate the reform-effects on labor supply, earnings, and wealth accumulation. We find no evidence of forward-looking labor supply adjustments in anticipation of lower survivor benefits while partners are still alive. However, affected women postpone retirement and accumulate significantly more net wealth. Yet, these adjustments are insufficient to fully offset the benefit loss. After an early and unexpected partner death, women substantially increase employment and earnings, which is consistent with imperfect foresight.
