AARP Public Policy Institute's: Financial Services and The Older Consumer Award

This award is granted to a paper that represents rigorous research that advances the knowledge base regarding financial products and services and the older consumer. The paper presents new data and/or analysis that focus on one or more key financial services issues, broadly defined, to include areas such as older persons’ use of banking, insurance, securities/investment products, credit and debt, e-commerce and online technology. It should offer, based on research findings, timely and relevant policy recommendations that are valuable to academicians, policymakers, and financial services professionals as well as advance the knowledge base in aging research in a manner that promotes a constructive image of older persons.
