我们调查了健康对非裔美国人，西班牙裔和非西班牙裔白色老年人财富枯竭的影响。使用的数据从4,464老年人家庭，参加了1993年的资产和健康动态的最年长的老人和1998年的健康和退休研究，我们发现，健康问题有助于不同的财富消耗在不同种族和民族的老年人。我们从研究结果中得出政策含义，以帮助消费者保护他们的财务安全免受晚年健康冲击的影响。
We investigate the impact of health on wealth depletion of African American, Hispanic, and non‐Hispanic white elders. Using the data from 4,464 elderly households that participated in both the 1993 Asset and Health Dynamics of the Oldest Old and the 1998 Health and Retirement Study, we find that health problems contribute to wealth depletion differently across elders in different racial and ethnic groups. We draw policy implications from the findings regarding ways to help consumers protect their financial security from health shocks in later life.
