Retirement behaviour of Dutch elderly households
利用荷兰社会经济面板数据,估计单身和已婚夫妇的退休模型,发现退休选择对不同家庭类型的退休行为有显著影响,并模拟了相关政策效应,揭示荷兰养老金制度对双职工已婚家庭劳动行为的意外负面作用。
Abstract We specify and estimate retirement models for singles and married couples and estimate these on data from the Dutch Socio‐Economic Panel. We perform some simulations and find strong effects of retirement options in determining the retirement behaviour within different household types. Model estimates are used to simulate the effect of relevant retirement policies across subgroups. We find that the disadvantageous treatment of the old age pension in the Netherlands for married households with two earners has unintended perverse effects on the labour market behaviour of couples.
