Analysis of vulnerability and changes in precautionary behavior of individuals in ageing societies during the years of Covid-19 pandemic in Europe
This study examines reactions to the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on routine and behavioral changes. It analyzes how vulnerability influenced behavior using microdata from 26 countries, targeting respondents over 50 from the eighth wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), interrupted in March 2020, and the SHARE Corona Survey conducted via telephone in June–July 2020 and a year later. SHARE data integrates with macro-…
Becoming ‘Homo Economicus’ as Learned Behavior among Numerate Greek University Students
In this study, we use experimental methods to probe how far individuals depart from choices consistent with “Rational Economic Man” and whether these departures are associated with financial and numeric literature on the one hand, and, more fundamentally, with impulsive or analytical thinking—i.e., with cognitive reflection. We examine a purposely biased sample of Greek undergraduates enrolled in a course heavy on statistics and probability who p…
A Two-Phase Stochastic Dynamic Model for Covid-19 Mid-Term Policy Recommendations in Greece
From 7 November 2020, Greece adopted a second nationwide lockdown policy to mitigate the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (the first took place from 23 March to 4 May 2020), just as the second wave of COVID-19 was advancing, as did other European countries. To secure the full benefits of mass vaccination, which started in early January 2021, it is of utmost importance to complement it with mid-term non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). The objective…
Les pensions de survie en Grèce sous le feu croisé des plans de sauvetage
Cet article tente de cerner comment et pourquoi les pensionnés survivants, c’est-à-dire les veuves et les orphelins dépendant des droits dérivés de l’assurance sociale, ont souffert des ajustements de la réforme des retraites, attendue de longue date et supervisée par les institutions européennes dans le cadre du plan de sauvetage de la Grèce, de 2010 à 2018. Cette situation est due avant tout à des lacunes de gouvernance, notamment, à l’incapaci…
Unequal Ageing in Europe
While much is known about the situation in the labour market in the form of gender pay and earnings gaps, rather little is understood about their sequel in old age the gender pension gap. Entering the
The Informal Welfare State and the Family
Are European welfare states, especially in the European periphery, ‘fair-weather systems'? Can they survive a sustained and deep crisis and still fulfil basic functions? This article argues that to answer these questions we must look at the interplay between ‘formal’ and ‘informal', family-based, social protection. Social protection services in all countries, but especially in Southern Europe, have always been provided by a hybrid system comprise…
Mapping population aging in Europe
This paper focuses primarily on the demographic and social structures across Europe aiming to portray how similar needs for care of the elderly population (justified on health outcomes), are addressed in different ways across European countries. To approach this issue, we focus first on mapping the ‘needs for care’ – a rough measure of demand for care, and then on family structures – characterizing an institution linked with the provision or supp…

Labour and Pensions in the Greek Crisis
This paper examines the antecedents and dynamics of the Greek crisis by focusing on pensions and the labour market -the microfoundations of disaster. The crisis was caused by fundamental features of Greece's political economy, already present before entry into the Monetary Union. The fact that reform did not take place until after the bailout may be seen as a governance shortcoming, linked to the way major policy choices are handled in Greece. Si…
International accounting standards as catalysts for pension reform
Pensions played a key role in the Greek fiscal crisis of 2010. This paper analyses a specific failure of pension system governance: the possibility of manipulating the vague boundary between social policy and occupational pensions. The vagueness of the boundary arises from the dual nature of pensions — as instruments of social and corporate policy. Where first pillar pension provision is segmented, this boundary can be fudged, giving rise to the …
Pension Reform in Greece
The dominant characteristic of the process of pension reform in Greece is policy immobility: key measures rationalising the public PAYG pension system have been characterised as 'extremely urgent' for the last half-century and remain so today. This policy immobility – or 'reform by instalments' – is explained on the basis of key structural features of the Greek pension system, chief amongst which is fragmentation. These features allow short-termi…
Inflow of migrants and outflow of investment
Along with the other Southern EU member-states, Greece has moved from a country of emigration to become a migrant-receiving country. The influx of migrants occurred during the 1990s, following the dramatic events in Eastern Europe and the former USSR, with the majority of immigrants being clandestine. The bulk of the immigrant population are nationals of neighbouring Balkan states, predominantly Albanians. Coinciding with the influx of immigrants…
The Politics of Pension Reform
While the construction of a rational case for pension reform is often straightforward, the political implementation of such reform can be somewhat more difficult. In large part, this can be attributed to sceptical public opinion. The precise role played by public opinion in constraining the political feasibility of pension reform is, however, unclear. The purpose of this paper is to distil the ways in which public attitudes influence pension refo…
Consumption and poverty in Tanzania in 1976 and 1991
The paper tests the hypothesis that given the significant decline of the Tanzanian economy in the early 1980s and the mediocre performance in the post-1986 adjustment period, household real incomes should be lower and the level of poverty should be higher in the early 1990s compared to the precrisis boom period of the mid-1970s. The analysis is done by comparing real household expenditures from two national surveys, in 1976 and 1991. The results …
