Aanleiding stageonderwerp In het nieuwe pensioencontract moeten pensioenfondsen onderzoek doen naar de risicovoorkeuren van deelnemers. Op basis van dit onderzoek stelt het fonds grenzen vast waar het beleid aan moet voldoen: een bovengrens voor het risico en een ondergrens voor het rendement. De wetenschappelijke literatuur kent veel onderzoek naar de risicobereidheid van mensen, maar de toepassing op pensioen is beperkt, zeker voor deze specifieke maten. De rest van dit stuk geeft de visie van PGGM op een geschikte onderzoeksvraag en -opzet. Hierin staan wij open voor suggesties van de scriptant. Onderzoeksvraag Wat is een geschikte methode om de risicopreferentie van deelnemers uit te vragen? -     Is dit een specifieke methode of een combinatie van methodes? -     Het gaat hierbij in ieder geval om de risicobereidheid van deelnemers (hoeveel risico wil een deelnemer nemen) en indien...

Can you solve this puzzle? Three players A, B, C play the following game. First, A picks a real number between 0 and 1 (both inclusive), then B picks a number in the same range (different from A’s choice) and finally C picks a number, also in the same range, (different from the two chosen numbers). We then pick a number in the range uniformly randomly. Whoever’s number is closest to this random number wins the game. Assume that A, B and C all play optimally and their sole goal is to maximise their chances of winning. Also assume that if one of them has several optimal choices, then that player will randomly pick one of the optimal choices. If A chooses 0, then what is the best choice for B? What is the best choice for A? Can you write a program to figure out the best choice for the first player when the game is played among four players? Did you like this puzzle? Are you looking for bigger challenges? Do you want to use your analytical...
