Main Research Interests

 

 

 

 

 

Agar Brugiavini has investigated the behaviour of individuals and household both in the area of consumption and saving and in the area of labour supply. In particular she is interested in the effects of pension reforms on household’s saving decisions, in  retirement choices and in the insurance aspects of pension arrangements.  More recently she has looked at the relationship between health conditions  and economic behaviour.
