Among the many themes explored in this volume, considerable attention is given to new research on retirement savings, the cost and efficiency of medical resources, and the predictors of health events. The volume begins with a discussion of the risks and merits of 401(k) plans. Subsequent chapters present recent analysis of the growth of Medicare costs; the different aspects of disability; and the evolution of health, wealth, and living arrangements over the life course. Keeping with the global tradition of previous volumes, Analyses in the Economics of Aging also includes comparative studies on savings behavior in Italy, the Netherlands, and the United States; an examination of household savings among different age groups in Germany; and a chapter devoted to population aging and the plight of widows in India. Carefully compiled and containing some of the most cutting-edge research and analysis available, this volume should be of interest to any specialist or policymaker concerned with ongoing changes in savings and retirement behaviors. 410 0$aNBER conference report. 606 $aAging$xEconomic aspects$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$zUnited States$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 606 $aRetirement income$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$xMedical care$xCosts$vCongresses 606 $aMedicare$vCongresses 610 $aeconomics, economical, aging, age, political economy, retirement savings, retire, old, elderly, older, medical resources, health events, healthy, healthcare, 401 k plans, medicare costs, disability, disabilities, wealth, money, finances, living arrangements, comparative studies, italy, italian, netherlands, united states of america, usa, american, households, germany, german, population, populous, india, indian, policymaker, risk, technology, institutions, survival curves. 615 0$aAging$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aRetirement income 615 0$aOlder people$xMedical care$xCosts 615 0$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 $a9910784796603321 996 $aAnalyses in the economics of aging$93725192 997 $aUNINA
