我们调查了60-74岁的日本男性在开始领取公共养老金后如何调整他们的劳动力依恋。54岁时为雇员的男子在开始领取养恤金福利后逐渐转为非全时工作或退休;继续工作的人往往就业不足。然而，54岁的自营职业者既不减少工作时间，也不退休，往往过度就业。相比之下，美国男性在首次申请社会保障时退休或成为兼职人员;那些继续工作的人不太可能过度就业或就业不足。因此，与美国男性不同，日本男性并没有选择最佳的退休年龄和工作时间来最大化他们的跨期效用。
We investigate how Japanese men aged 60–74 adjust their workforce attachment after beginning to receive a public pension. Men who were employees at 54 gradually move to part-time work or retire after beginning to receive pension benefits; those who continue working tend to be underemployed. Men self-employed at 54, however, neither reduce their working hours nor retire, tending to be overemployed. In contrast, US men retire or become part-timers when they first claim social security; those who continue working are unlikely to be either overemployed or underemployed. Therefore, unlike US men, Japanese men are not choosing the optimal pensionable age and labour hours to maximize their intertemporal utility.
