ResearchPublished Oct 18, 2012

This paper provides three distinct analyses addressing labor supply, saving and investment behavior of older workers, in the context of the incentives and constraints they face due to employer and government policies. The first paper examines labor supply flexibility and its effect on the labor supply decisions of older workers. The second paper examines whether labor supply flexibility affects investment behavior. The third paper describes the construction and characteristics of a unique dataset with which foundations are laid for understanding pension system incentives and how they influence work and savings behavior over the lifecycle.
