Specific topics include the effect of labor market rigidities on the employment of older workers; the effect on retirement of the availability of continuation coverage benefits; and the influence of the prospective payment system (PPS) on rising Medicare costs. Also considered are the effects of health and wealth on living arrangement decisions; the incentive effects of employer-provided pension plans; the degree of substitution between 401(k) plans and other employer-provided retirement saving arrangements; and the extent to which housing wealth determines how much the elderly save and consume. Two final studies use simulations that describe the implications of stylized economic models of behavior among the elderly. This timely volume will be of interest to anyone concerned with the economics of aging. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aOld age$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$zUnited States$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 606 $aRetirement$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 610 $alabor, employment, older workers, elderly, aging, retirement, continuation coverage benefits, prospective payment system, medicare, healthcare, wealth, poverty, living arrangements, 401k, saving, housing, economics, policy, old age, air force pilots, military pension, employer-provided pensions, health insurance, compensation, intergenerational transfers, mobility, nonfiction. 615 0$aOld age$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aRetirement$xEconomic aspects 676 $a305.26 701 $aWise$b David A$0124389 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784747803321 996 $aAdvances in the economics of aging$93845301 997 $aUNINA
