Projection methods and scenarios for public and private pension information
No full textPublic pensions - the primary pillar of old-age income provision - will, in the future, be less generous than they have been in the past, in particular owing to the impact of demographic change. The pension gap is supposed to be plugged by the second and third pillars of pension provision. However, people require reliable planning information if they are to exercise greater individual responsibility. It is therefore absolutely essential that adequate information is made available about the level of pension benefits that will be generated by each pillar of old-age pension provision. This paper outlines a number of different means of presenting the level of future pensions and the assumptions on which such extrapolations are necessarily based. Our work is based on an assumed average rate of inflation of 1.5% and an average rate of real income growth not exceeding 1.5%. This last figure is derived from calculations made in the framework of a macroeconomic simulation model. This model also shows that while the funded pillar of old-age pension provision is not entirely immune to population aging, it is not substantially threatened by a substantial decrease in stock market prices, the so-called "asset meltdown".

Overconfident but yet well-calibrated and underconfident: A research note on judgmental miscalibration and flawed self-assessment*
No full textThe present paper addresses the question whether overconfidence is an individually stable phenomenon. A within-subjects design was used to investigate whether judgmental miscalibration also reflects tendency to make flawed self-assessments. While the former notion refers to the tendency of individuals to put unrealistic beliefs in their judgments, the latter concerns the tendency of individuals to make inaccurate evaluations of their abilities and performance. On the whole, the paper finds little support that those two tendencies should be related. Depending on the employed measurement, the participants were found to be simultaneously overconfident, well-calibrated, and underconfident.
Household Composition and Savings: An Overview
No full textIn recent years the literature on household saving behavior has been enriched by a number of contributions focusing on the problem of modeling a household as a single decision unit. It has reasonably been argued that with respect to household consumption and saving behavior the simple approach of modeling households as one representative decider could involve major mistakes. Thus the literature has enriched the basic model by incorporating variables that describe the composition of a household examples being the number and age of children, household member�s life expectancies and the intra-household distribution of income. This paper reviews these developments and empirical results in the latest literature, with a particular focus on intra-household income distributions.
Equivalence between best responses and undominated
No full textFor games with expected utility maximizing players whose strategy sets are finite, Pearce (1984) shows that a strategy is strictly dominated by some mixed strategy, if and only if, this strategy is not a best response to some belief about opponents' strategy choice. This note generalizes Pearce's (1984) equivalence result to games with expected utility maximizing players whose strategy sets are arbitrary compact sets.

Female Artist Figures in Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace and The Blind Assassin
No full textThe author is dead; long live the author. In a time when discourses, words and structures determine the discussion about literary texts, paradoxically, the figure of the artist looms large in novels, short stories, movies and plays. In a “post-Barthesian age” (Scherzinger) the figure of the artist is ascribed more and more significance. While the portraits of the artist as a young man are well-researched and documented, female artist figures in literature(s) in English are still more or less neglected. This volume of anglistik & englischunterricht attempts to fill the gap. The focus of the essays lies, firstly, on the (de-)constructions of gender, secondly, the complex self-reflexive functions of the artist figures and, thirdly, on the negotiations of cultural faultlines

"Ta en sup - å va' som folk?" - studie av en läsardebatt kring föräldrars alkoholvanor på Aftonbladet.se
No full textAuthor: Anette Olsson Title: Have a drink – be a sport? Study of a reader debate concerning the drinking habits of parents on Aftonbladet.se. Supervisor: Håkan Jönson The aim of this study is to through a readers debate, sparked by an article in the media, look at as to whether the drinking habits of a parent could be considered as being problematic or not. I chose to view the debate from a social constructionist perspective. As such I looked for the underlying themes of the debate. I found that the child was portrayed as a victim who suffered great harm. The parent, when portrayed as an offender, was someone selfish who by drinking alcohol put their child’s wellbeing at risk. Alcohol was debated as whether being a poison or a substance to enjoy. Also the risks of getting caught in substance abuse were discussed. Keywords: alcohol, parenting, child neglect, media, social constructionis
