Drawing on evidence from the United States and other nations, Explorations in the Economics of Aging yields important new findings on how economic decisions by households and policy choices by governments will influence the effects of this demographic shift. It explores topics such as the implications of differential mortality rates by income on Social Security, the link between cognition and economic outcomes, and scale variations in self-reported work disability. This volume will be an important reference for economists and policymakers alike. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aAging$xEconomic aspects$vCongresses 606 $aRetirement 606 $aMedical care, Cost of 606 $aMedicare 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAging$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aRetirement. 615 0$aMedical care, Cost of. 615 0$aMedicare. 676 $a305.26 701 $aWise$b David A$0124389 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464994803321 996 $aExplorations in the economics of aging$92269425 997 $aUNINA
