Determinants and Consequences of Retirement

Conducted by Christian Dudel; Angelo Lorenti, Carla Rowold, Emma Zai, Peter Eibich

We study how health and wealth affect the timing of labor force exits among older workers, and examine the effects of retirement on the behavior of older people. We disentangle the complex relationship between health, wealth, and labor market participation using state-of-the-art methods for analyzing longitudinal data and causal inference.  Detailed Description
