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/ .

Pensions, Retirement, and the Disutility of Labor: Bunching in Brazil 1: Mount Holyoke College, United States of America; 2: Claremont McKenna College; 3: University of California - San Diego; 4: Independent Researcher Elderly workers in developing countries face frictions, such as credit constraints, in retirement decisions that may not be as common among their counterparts in the developed world. In this study, we use regression discontinuity methods to show that a large fraction of urban males in Brazil (45 percent) react contemporaneously to pension eligibility by retiring. Because retirement is not required to receive the pension and the return to working does not change discontinuously at the eligibility cutoff, workers should not react contemporaneously unless optimization frictions, such as credit constraints, are at work. Secondly, we develop a model of retirement decisions that explores how pension incentives in the face of credit constraints can influence such decisions.
