Highlights from Pension Finance: Regulation, Investment, and Risk Sharing Conference
On June 11, Pension Research Center (PeRCent), in collaboration with the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), proudly hosted the Pension Finance: Regulation, Investment, and Risk Sharing Conference.
The conference featured research presentations exploring variety of topics, including private equity performance evaluation, pension liquidity risk, pension fund investment consultants, impact of anti-ESG pressure on investments, productivity effects of public pension investments in private equity, the role of long-term patient capital for firm productivity, and performance capital flows in DC pensions.
The conference ended with a panel discussion on global pension trends and furthered the discussion beyond the topics of the day featuring other topical issues in pension economics and finance.
