Work packages

Our project consists of two work packages, combining methods and insights from behavioral and experimental economics, political science and data science.

Work Package 1, using economic experiments and surveys, elicits PBBs and links these to administrative data of Statistics Netherlands (CBS) to show how PBBs are distributed in the socio-economic domain and how they are related to actual (pension-)savings decisions.

Combining data generated in Work Package 1 and administrative CBS data, Work Package 2 applies state-of-the-art data science methods to develop an alternative fine-grained classification of the investigated samples regarding PBBs and their effects on (pension-)savings, thereby cross-validating the results of Work Package 1.
