Rob Rusconi

No 24, OECD Working Papers on Insurance and Private Pensions from OECD Publishing

Abstract: This paper describes a number of national annuity markets, the types of products typically available, the demand for these products, the value for money on offer and the dynamics of the supply side. It explores supply and demand characteristics, asking what the main forces are that drive these dynamics and how they might be recognised and responded to by policymakers.
