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/ .

Valuing Flexible and Discretionary Work Arrangements in Japan: Implications for Retirement and Public Pension Policy 1: Musashi University, Tokyo, Japan.; 2: Konan University, Hyogo, Japan This study measures how mid-career Japanese workers value flexible work (time/location) and discretionary work (autonomy over tasks) and discusses implications for retirement and public pension policy. Using an online stated-preference experiment with full-time male employees aged 35–44 in Japan, respondents repeatedly chose between a standard job and alternative work plans under randomized earnings. Logit-based willingness-to-pay estimates show near-zero value for flexibility, but a strongly negative value for discretion: workers require an earnings premium of about 18–20% to accept discretionary jobs. Higher-income respondents value flexibility somewhat more and demand smaller premiums. Linking these preferences to stated plans, flexible-work preference predicts a slightly later desired retirement age but is unrelated to preferred pension claiming age. The findings suggest that work-style reforms alone may not materially delay pension take-up, so labor and pension policies should be designed jointly to extend contribution careers.
