Wise. The program addresses issues that affect the well-being of individuals as they age and a society that is composed increasingly of older people. Within the next twenty years, an unprecedented proportion of Americans will be over sixty-five. New research in the economics of aging is an essential element of understanding what the future holds for this aging population. Inquiries in the Economics of Aging presents both empirical papers that consider questions that are fundamental to public policy and more theoretical contributions that lay new groundwork for future research in the economics of aging. Inquiries in the Economics of Aging provides a timely overview of some of the most important questions facing researchers on aging and outlines new techniques and models that may help to answer these questions. This important volume will be of great interest to specialists and policy makers as it paves the way for future analysis. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aOlder people$zUnited States$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 606 $aHealth insurance$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aRetirement$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aMedical economics$zUnited States$vCongresses 610 $aaging, ages, elderly, older, old, economics, economy, national bureau of economic research, well being, population, public policy, government, governing, healthcare, caretaking, united states, usa, american culture, insurance, health, congress, retirement, technology, changes, lump-sum distributions, medicare, life cycle behavior, mortality, household wealth, alternative imputation procedures, poverty, eligibility. 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aHealth insurance$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aRetirement$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aMedical economics 676 $a305.26 701 $aWise$b David A$0124389 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777009303321 996 $aInquiries in the economics of aging$93696505 997 $aUNINA
