Frontiers in the Economics in Aging directs attention to four topics: the role of retirement accounts, such as IRAs and 401(k)s in personal saving; the economics of health care; new advances in research methodology; and aging in relation to inequality. Some of the issues analyzed within these topics are the implications of rising personal retirement saving in recent years, how health and health insurance affect labor supply, and the effects of pensions on the distribution of wealth. David Wise's lucid introduction provides an overview of each paper. In addition to this book's appeal for specialists and microeconomists, it offers immediately practical ideas and methods for shaping public policy. In fact, one of the papers in this volume, "The Taxation of Pensions: A Shelter Can Become a Trap," helped to spur new legislation that reformed laws on pension distribution. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aAging$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$zUnited States$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 606 $aRetirement$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aAging$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aRetirement$xEconomic aspects 676 $a305.26 676 $a305.26 701 $aWise$b David A$0124389 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953814303321 996 $aFrontiers in the economics of aging$94361985 997 $aUNINA
