January 17-20, 2012
Pablo Antolin, OECD, Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs, Paris
Pablo Antolin is Principal Economist at the Private Pension Unit of the OECD
Financial Affairs Division. He is currently working on three main projects.
The first project consists in putting together by early 2012 a book on defined
contribution plans. This book will compile the OECD work on improving the design of DC pension plans in order to protect retirement income stemming from
these plans carried out in the last 4 years. It will include a set of policy measures options to strengthen retirement income adequacy in DC pension plans.
This project includes work on: (i) modelling the impact of labour market, financial markets (e.g. investment, inflation, interest rate), and demographic (e.g. life expectancy) risks on
retirement income adequacy; (ii) annuities and the payout phase; (iii) default investment strategies in a
world of uncertainty; (iv) cost of guarantees in DC pension plans; and (v) improving the communication
of uncertainty to pension members.
The second project assesses how pension funds, annuity providers such as life insurance companies,
and the regulatory framework incorporate future improvements in mortality and life expectancy. The
ultimate goal is to provide recommendations on best practices on how to incorporate future improvement in mortality and life expectancy.
The third project evaluates the retirement saving adequacy of current and future pensioners by looking
at all the sources to finance retirement as a whole.
He has recently published with J. Yermo (OECD), R. Hinz and H. Rudolph (World Bank) a book on evaluating the financial performance of pension funds. In the past, he has worked on the impact of ageing
populations on the economy and on public finances. He has produced several studies examining options available to reform pension systems in several OECD countries, including public pensions. Previously, he worked at the IMF and at the OECD Economic Department. He has published journal articles
on ageing issues as well as labour market issues. Mr. Antolín has a PhD in Economics from the University of Oxford and an undergraduate degree in Economics from the University of Alicante (Spain).
