Rate My Professor Andre Lot

Lot's research centers on household finance, behavioral finance, experimental finance, and pension finance. A prominent publication is "Experimental Research on Retirement Decision-Making: Evidence from Replications," published in the Journal of Banking & Finance in 2023, co-authored with Kremena Bachmann, Xiaogeng Xu, and Thorsten Hens, which has received 18 citations on Google Scholar. This paper provides replication evidence on key factors in retirement choices. His job market paper, "Longevity Pessimism, Misinformation, and Pension Choice" (2022), examines the effects of longevity beliefs and misleading information on pension decisions and has been presented at conferences including the American Economic Association 2025 program. Additional projects under development include "Prudence and the demand for incentivized retirement investment accounts," addressing liquidity and precautionary savings motives; "Micro-longevity Risk Preferences and Pension Fund Contributions," focusing on intergenerational risk preferences; and research on daily heterogeneous mutual fund flow performance sensitivity and market turnover. Lot's scholarship has been disseminated via the Swiss Finance Institute Research Paper series, the Conference on Saving and Pension Finance in Europe, and seminars such as at UNSW Sydney. His early-career contributions are establishing his presence in experimental household finance research.
