A model with special attention on the (subjective) survival probability is proposed to understand salient aspects of retirement age decision. Optimal retirement age results are derived with a death hazard rate function having non-negative duration dependence. At the optimum age, the retiree...

Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on arvioida, nostiko vuoden 2005 eläkejärjestelmän ns. superkarttumasääntö eläköitymisikää 63 ikävuoden jälkeen. Tarkastelun kohteena on vuoden 1947 syntymäkohortin siirtyminen vuosina 2007-2015 vanhuuseläkkeelle. Superkarttuma mahdollisti paremman...

Paper proposes a model of retirement duration maximization based on retiree’s ex-ante intended retirement age and subjective survival time estimate. The optimum result needs that retirement age is an increasing convex function of survival time estimate supporting postponed retirement age with...

Regression discontinuity (RD) analysis of retirement durations and retiree death ages is conducted with the Finnish year 1947 birth cohort. Data consist of observations from the sample follow-up period in 1.1.2007 – 31.12.2019. For the year 1947 cohort the eligible retirement age with old-age...

We propose an elementary economic model which assumes that the integral of life survival function can be interpreted as a utility function. The model helps us to understand connections between individual’s survival estimate to some specific age and the timing of retirement. The difference...

A simultaneous three-equation model is specified between GDP per capita (GDPc) level, infant mortality rate and health expenditures for 194 countries from 1990 to 2014. GMM-2SLS estimation results indicate that simultaneous decreasing infant mortality rate and increasing GDPc level effects are...

Barro and Sala-I-Martin empirical framework of neoclassical Solow-Swan model is specified to determine the FDI impact on per capita growth in 74 Russian regions during period of 1996-2003.The Arellano-Bond GMM-DIFF methodology, developed for dynamic panel data models, is used in...

Enterprises in post-socialist and transition economies often participate in providing infrastructure and social services to the surrounding community. We argue that this bundling of social and infrastructure goods provision with an enterprise s core operations is a fully rational choice in an...

The Laplace mixture distribution for stock share returns is derived from conditional N(0, sigma-squared) distribution. The conditioning variable, sigma-squared, is assumed to be an exponentially distributed random variable. This offers a natural stochastic interpretation of the risk involved...

Minimum Absolute Deviation (MAD) estimation method is used to examine weekday anomaly in 18 international stock exchanges between 1990 and 2003. Weekday return anomaly is found with OLS method in two and with MAD method in eight stock exchanges. Empirical test distributions of F -type test for...
