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.

Savings Behavior during Retirement University of Mannheim, Germany This paper studies savings behavior and its determinants in old age. A large empirical literature documents low drawdown of wealth late in life. I confirm this result in the context of the Netherlands, where there are extensive public insurance schemes covering both health and care expenditures. To investigate the determinants of this observed behavior, I provide suggestive evidence that bequest motives cannot fully account for this empirical finding. The results have implications for the retirement consumption smoothing benefits of private saving in working life, and is important in considering how to insure retirees against risks such as long-term care late in life.
