Inka is interested in the interface between behavioural economics and pension systems. For her dissertation, Inka worked together with the Bedrijfstakpensioenfonds Detailhandel, the pension fund of the Dutch retail sector. She uses field experiments and online surveys to research the effectiveness of pension communication on savings behaviour and retirement decisions. The aim of her research is to improve communication and to enable consumers to make better choices.
