ECONOMICS & DEMOGRAPHY OF AGING

描述：（改编自申请）：这些研究人员提议继续一个博士后项目，提供严格的经济学和老龄化人口培训，因为他们在该领域涉及关键的健康和健康相关问题。博士后培训的重点领域包括：(1)关于老年人健康、残疾、退休和经济保障等生命过程问题的跨国研究；(2)老年人家庭关系和照顾的动态，包括结构、交换、迁移和空间邻近；(3)代际转移的经济学和社会学；(4)健康和残疾的动态及其对医疗资源利用的影响。以及微观模拟方法来模拟发病率、收入和家庭人口环境的联合时间轨迹。这些都是老龄化研究的关键领域，需要一批受过最先进概念和技术培训的研究人员。该培训项目将通过州立大学麦克斯韦公民与公共事务学院政策研究中心的老龄化研究项目进行管理，并任命两名具有博士学位的博士后进行为期两年的培训。他们将在正在进行的重大研究项目的导师的直接监督下获得第一手的研究经验。在必要时，他们也将有机会通过课程工作进行进一步的培训。他们将积极参与以跨学科合作和批评为标志的丰富的知识环境，以及一系列的研讨会和其他培训和专业成长的机会。

DESCRIPTION: (adapted from the application): These investigators propose to continue a postdoctoral program that provides rigorous training in the economics and demography of aging as they bear upon crucial health and health-related issues in the field. Major areas of postdoctoral training emphasis include (1) cross-national studies on life-course issues of health, disability, retirement, and economic security for older persons, (2) the dynamics of family relationships and caregiving for older people, including structure, exchange, migration, and spatial proximity, (3) the economics and sociology ofinter- generational transfers, (4) the dynamics of health and disability and their implications for health care resource utilization, and microsimulation approaches to modeling the joint-time trajectories of morbidity, income, and family demographic circumstances. These are critical areas of aging research requiring a cadre of researchers with state-of-the-art training, both conceptual and technical. The training program will be administered through the Aging Studies Program in the Center for Policy Research located in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at SU. Two postdoctoral fellows with the Ph.D. degree will be appointed for two year training periods. They will acquire first-hand research experience under the direct supervision of preceptors working on major ongoing research projects. They will also have an opportunity to pursue further training through course work where necessary. They will be actively involved in a rich intellectual environment marked by interdisciplinary collaboration and criticism, and a range of seminars and other opportunities for training and professional growth.
