Employees affiliated to occupational pension schemes have to choose between lumpsum,phased withdraw and annuitization after retirement.The recursive preference was introduced to eliminate intertemporal substitution,and an intertemporal utility function with unique uncertainty of lifetime was set up to explore the employees’ decisions without bequest motive.Results show that longevity risk and ephemerality risk have different effect: the lumpsum way and phased withdraw help to aversion to longevity risk while annuitization helps to aversion to ephemerality risk.In general,the utility of annuitization decreases and the lumpsum way is more attractive as risk aversion increases.
