RMJ VOL. 13, NO. 1, 2024

The latest Retirement Management Journal continues its tradition of delivering insightful research and expert analysis on the ever-evolving landscape of retirement planning. This issue explores both theoretical foundations and real-world applications, providing a comprehensive look at current trends and strategies.

We feature interviews with two leading visionaries in retirement planning. Laura Carstensen, PhD, discusses, among other topics, the “positivity effect”—the tendency for older adults to focus more on positive information. Her insights offer valuable guidance for advisors on communicating effectively with older clients. Meir Statman, PhD, introduces the concept of “life well-being,” emphasizing that true retirement security extends beyond financial stability.
