Retirement Measures in the Health and Retirement Study
指出退休经济学中未解决的研究问题,并展示如何利用健康与退休研究(HRS)的数据来回答这些问题,包括收入、养老金、健康等数据,对研究退休行为的学者有用。
This paper highlights unanswered research questions in the economics of retirement and shows how these questions can be addressed using the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Unique features of the survey are described, including administrative records on earnings and Social Security benefits and employer-provided data on pensions and health insurance. Also collected by the survey are indicators of retirement plans, health status, family structure, income, wealth, and employer policies affecting job opportunities and constraints. Data from the first wave of the HRS are used to analyze retirement outcomes and constraints shaping retirement behavior.
