An employee who would otherwise retire at a fixed time T may elect to purchase L additional\nyears of service and retire early. Earlier retirement provides additional leisure but requires an upfront\npayment and typically results in a reduced post-retirement income stream. We model this trade-off in\na continuous-time retirement framework by allowing the employee to choose L to maximize the value\nof wealth and leisure at retirement in both deterministic and life-contingent settings. Our model\ncaptures a common feature of public pension systems: early retirement is often accompanied by both\nan upfront cost and a permanent reduction in benefits. We show that this structure yields tractable\nand intuitive results in several benchmark cases, including settings without mortality risk and settings\nwith mortality risk under simplifying assumptions. In more general cases, we characterize optimal\nbehavior through comparative statics and numerical examples. A key insight is that the interaction\nbetween the finite-horizon value of leisure and the lifetime cost embedded in pension pricing can\ngenerate a range of behaviors, including monotone strategies and interior optima. While many results\nalign with economic intuition, others require more careful interpretation. We also extend the model to\nallow for dynamic decision-making via a multi-period service-purchase option, solved by backward\ninduction. The results provide insight into optimal retirement timing and the role of plan design in\nshaping participant behavior.

The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them, name potential barriers to intervention, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop, or are in need of an exemption, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this\u00a0form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and\/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"150694-21909942@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/150694", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"TBD", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/17288", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Sessions @ Michigan", "group_id":"4791", "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":37, "first_occurrence":21909938 } , "148716-21904658": { "datetime_modified":"20260609T181635", "datetime_start":"20260923T163000", "datetime_end":"20260923T183000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-09-23", "date_end":"2026-09-23", "time_start":"16:30:00", "time_end":"18:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Voice & Opera Studio Recital", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Voice & Opera Studio Recital", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Students from the Department of Voice & Opera perform a recital.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148716-21904658@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148716", "building_id":"1000440", "building_name":"Earl V.
