@article{Calvo2006, abstract = {While numerous Western countries first experienced cultural rationalization, next economic modernization, and then faced the challenges of population aging and pension policy reform, both Latin America and China, in contrast, are dealing with these challenges in the context of much less developed economies and stronger traditional cultures. In this article we analyze old-age pension reform efforts in eight Latin American countries that have introduced funded defined contribution schemes with individual accounts. We are searching for insights about the potential success of similar reforms being implemented in China. All of these societies are organized primarily around the principles of family, reciprocity, loyalty and poverty. Our analysis suggests that these distinctive characteristics have important implications for the likely success of the reforms currently being implemented in China, particularly in four interrelated areas: coverage, compliance, transparency, and fiscal stability.}, author = {Calvo, Esteban and Williamson, John B.}, doi = {10.1016/j.jaging.2007.02.004}, journal = {Journal of Aging Studies}, month = {jan}, pages = {74-87}, title = {Old-Age Pension Reform and Modernization Pathways: Lessons for China from Latin America}, url = {https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/49060/1/MPRA_paper_49060.pdf}, volume = {22}, year = {2006} } @article{Calvo2009, abstract = { The aim of this study was to explore the factors that affect an individual's happiness while transitioning into retirement. Recent studies have found that workers often view the idea of gradual retirement as a more attractive alternative than a “cold turkey” or abrupt retirement. However, there is very little evidence as to whether phasing or cold turkey makes for a happier retirement. Using longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study, the authors explored what shapes the change in happiness between the last wave of full employment and the first wave of full retirement. The results suggest that what matters is not the type of transition (gradual retirement or cold turkey) but whether people perceive the transition as chosen or forced. }, author = {Calvo, Esteban and Haverstick, Kelly and Sass, Steven A.}, doi = {10.1177/0164027508324704}, journal = {Research on Aging}, month = {jan}, pages = {112-135}, title = {Gradual Retirement, Sense of Control, and Retirees' Happiness}, url = {https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Esteban_Calvo/publication/249630767_Gradual_Retirement_Sense_of_Control_and_Retirees%27_Happiness/links/00b7d520a4ac7027e0000000.pdf}, volume = {31}, year = {2009} } @article{Calvo2010, abstract = {AbstractThis article reviews two rounds of pension reform in ten Latin American countries to determine whether they are moving away from individual retirement accounts (IRAs). Although the idea is provocative, we conclude that the notion of ‘moving away from IRAs’ is insufficient to characterise the new politics of pension reform. As opposed to the politics of enactment of IRAs of the late twentieth century, pension reform in Latin America in recent years has combined significant revival of public components in old-age income maintenance with improvement of IRAs. Clearly, the policy prescriptions that were most influential during the first round of reforms in Latin America have been re-evaluated. The World Bank and other organisations that promoted IRAs have recognised that pension reform should pay more attention to poverty reduction, coverage and equity, and to protect participants from market risks. The experience and challenges faced by countries that introduced IRAs, the changes in policies by international financing institutions, and the recent financial volatility and heavy losses experienced in financial markets may have tempered the enthusiasm of other countries from applying the same type of reforms. Scholars and policy-makers around the globe could benefit from looking closely at these changes in pension policy.}, author = {Calvo, Esteban and Bertranou, Fabio M. and Bertranou, Evelina}, doi = {10.1017/s0047279409990663}, journal = {SSRN Electronic Journal}, month = {jan}, pages = {223}, title = {Are Old-Age Pension System Reforms Moving Away from Individual Retirement Accounts in Latin America?}, url = {https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Esteban_Calvo/publication/228179289_Are_Old-Age_Pension_System_Reforms_Moving_Away_from_Individual_Retirement_Accounts_in_Latin_America/links/0c96051bdb8be7e7d4000000.pdf}, volume = {39}, year = {2010} } @article{Calvo2012, author = {Calvo, Esteban and Sarkisian, Natalia and Tamborini, Christopher R.}, doi = {10.1093/geronb/gbs097}, journal = {The Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences}, month = {nov}, pages = {73-84}, title = {Causal Effects of Retirement Timing on Subjective Physical and Emotional Health}, url = {https://academic.oup.com/psychsocgerontology/article-pdf/68/1/73/1691105/gbs097.pdf}, volume = {68}, year = {2012} } @article{Calvo2014, author = {Calvo, Esteban and Mair, Christine A. and Sarkisian, Natalia}, doi = {10.1093/sf/sou109}, journal = {Social Forces}, month = {jan}, pages = {1625-1653}, title = {Individual Troubles, Shared Troubles: The Multiplicative Effect of Individual and Country-Level Unemployment on Life Satisfaction in 95 Nations (1981-2009)}, url = {https://oadoi.org/10.1093/sf/sou109}, volume = {93}, year = {2014} } @article{Constantino2010, abstract = {The quality of the patient-therapist relationship, or therapeutic alliance, is widely viewed as an important element of the psychotherapeutic process. Empirically, the therapeutic alliance is a well-established and robust predictor of therapeutic change. With its clear impact on therapeutic success, researchers have increasingly examined factors that contribute to alliance development, including patient psychological characteristics. This study examined the relationship between patients’ object relations (i.e., mental representations of self and others) and alliance quality, and whether timing of the alliance rating and the rater perspective (patient vs. therapist) moderated this relationship. Participants were 73 patients and 23 therapists from two outpatient mental health clinics. Patients completed the Bell Object Relations Inventory at baseline, and both patients and therapists completed the Working Alliance Inventory across multiple therapy sessions. On average, patients perceived the alliance more positively than their therapists, and there was a small, but statistically significant, correlation between their perspectives. Patients’ general object relations deficits, as well as greater alienation and insecure attachment, were associated with more negative patient-rated alliance quality. On the other hand, patients’ greater egocentricity was associated with a more positive patient-rated alliance perception. Patients’ object relations did not significantly predict therapist-rated alliance, but symptom severity did. Less severe patient symptomatology was associated with more positive therapist alliance perception. Symptom severity did not predict patient-rated alliance. The number of sessions in which patients engaged was positively associated with therapist-rated alliance, while patient-rated alliance remained stable across sessions. Time of the alliance assessment did not moderate the relationship between object relations and either patient- or therapist-rated alliance. The results suggest that it may be important to consider patients’ presenting quality of object relations for treatment planning and for negotiating the therapeutic alliance. ^}, author = {Constantino, Michael J. and Calvo, Esteban and Errazuriz Arellano, Paula Andrea}, doi = {10.1111/papt.12046}, journal = {Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice}, month = {jan}, pages = {254-269}, title = {The relationship between patient object relations and the therapeutic alliance in a naturalistic psychotherapy sample}, url = {http://scholarworks.umass.edu/open_access_dissertations/254}, volume = {88}, year = {2010} } @article{Feigl2015, author = {Feigl, Andrea B. and Salomon, Joshua A. and Danaei, Goodarz and Ding, Eric L. and Calvo, Esteban}, doi = {10.2471/blt.14.146092}, journal = {Bulletin of the World Health Organization}, month = {apr}, pages = {468-475}, title = {Teenage smoking behaviour following a high-school smoking ban in Chile: Interrupted time-series analysis}, url = {https://doi.org/10.2471/blt.14.146092}, volume = {93}, year = {2015} } @article{Staudinger2016, author = {Staudinger, Ursula M. and Finkelstein, Ruth and Calvo, Esteban and Sivaramakrishnan, Kavita}, doi = {10.1093/geront/gnw032}, journal = {The Gerontologist}, month = {mar}, pages = {S281-S292}, title = {A Global View on the Effects of Work on Health in Later Life}, url = {https://academic.oup.com/gerontologist/article-pdf/56/Suppl_2/S281/17700718/gnw032.pdf}, volume = {56}, year = {2016} } @article{Zhou2018, author = {Zhou, Yi and Slachevasky, Andrea and Calvo, Esteban}, doi = {10.1002/gps.4879}, journal = {International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry}, month = {mar}, pages = {964-971}, title = {Health conditions and unmet needs for assistance to perform activities of daily living among older adults with dementia in Chile}, url = {https://oadoi.org/10.1002/gps.4879}, volume = {33}, year = {2018} }
