The Geneva Reports on the World Economy series was launched by the International Center for Monetary and Banking Studies (ICMB) and CEPR in 1999. Each title focuses on an aspect of the reform of the international financial and economic systems and is written by a team of internationally know macroeconomists. The eighth report in the series looks at pension funds. Contributors include Tito Boeri (Bocconi University and Fondazione Rodolfo Debenedetti), Lans Bovenberg (Tilburg University and Netspar), Benoît Coeuré (Agence France Trésor, and Ecole Polytechnique, Paris), and Andrew Roberts (Merrill Lynch).
