- EA Political Economy Conference
Focus on ageing and demographics
Broadway House, Tothill Street, Westminster, London SW1
09:30, 14 November 2007: free for academics and student
The IEA Political Economy Conference brings together expert speakers to discuss the appropriate roles of government and the market in key areas of economic life. The programme includes contributions by eminent academics, practitioner economists, politicians and think-tank researchers.
At this year's conference we will be focusing on the problems of demographics and ageing. Speakers will examine policy issues in the field of pensions, welfare, "wellbeing", and taxation and government spending over the long term. Though this is set against the background of current economic problems and policy choices, many of the speakers will also look at the long-term implications of an ageing population and its consequences for the current younger generation - often described as the "iPod generation".
Participants will include James Clappison MP, Shadow Minister for Welfare Reform and Employment, Gary Duncan, Economics Editor, The Times, Matthew Elliot, Chief Executive of The TaxPayers' Alliance and Quentin Davies MP. The full programme and application form can be downloaded from: http://www.iea.org.uk/record.jsp?type=event&ID=164
The attendance fee for the conference is just £10. However, full-time academics and students may attend free. Please contact rwellings@iea.org.uk for requests for free places.

- Longevity Two: The Second International Longevity Risk and Capital Market
Solutions Symposium
24th April 2006– Sheraton Hotel, Chicago, Illinois
Richard MacMinn, Editor of the Journal of Risk and Insurance, and David Blake, Director of the Pensions Institute, are pleased to announce the 8th Bowles Symposium and Second International Longevity Risk and Capital Market Solutions Symposium.
As populations in countries around the world age, governments, corporations and individuals face increasing risk. Pay-as-you-go state pensions and corporate pension plans are beginning to put severe financial pressures on governments and companies; IBM and Verizon are just two recent examples in the US, and British Airways and the Co-op provide two current UK examples. Mortality improvements especially at older ages make it ever more likely that individuals with inadequate pension arrangements will end their lives in poverty.
Capital markets do provide governments, corporations and individuals with a means of transferring risks and resources across time, as well as spreading risks across individuals. Similarly, individuals can transfer money forward via security purchases to fund their retirement years. However existing instruments do not allow agencies, corporations or individuals to effectively hedge the longevity risk that they face.
For more information on the symposium see either http://journalofriskandinsurance.org/ or click on the following links. The Geneva Association is pleased to announce that the presentations from the 2nd International Longevity Risk and Capital Market Solutions Symposium, held on 24 April 2006 in Chicago, are now available.
