This proposal seeks support for the completion of numerous research projects on the economics of age discrimination, for training and development in the economics of aging and age discrimination, and for the development of a full-scale, long-term research program in the economics of age discrimination. The research projects focus on the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), which prohibits age discrimination and mandatory retirement. The ADEA has been criticized, on theoretical grounds, for reducing opportunities for long-term incentive contracts between workers and firms. One question the proposed research addresses, then, is whether the ADEA has in fact had this effect. In addition, theoretical assessments of the ADEA hinge on the model underlying the age-earnings profile. Thus, a number of projects testing alternative models of the age-earnings profile are proposed. Finally, there is relatively little existing research documenting evidence of, or even evidence consistent with, discrimination against older workers. Consequently, some of the proposed projects assembly evidence and test hypotheses regarding the existence of age discrimination, the forms it takes, and its effects on older workers. The goal of the proposed program is not only to complete these research projects, but also to develop a full-scale research agenda in the economics of age discrimination. To facilitate this, formal and informal training is proposed. The formal training consists of course work in employment discrimination law. The informal training consists of involvement of mentors who are experts in the economics of aging, work with the Health and Retirement Survey, and participation in conferences and seminars through the NBER's Aging Program, and the University of Michigan Population Studies Center. The research, training, and development will be carried out under the auspices of the NBER's Aging Program. The involvement of the NBER in the program will facilitate interaction with other researchers, collaborative research, and dissemination and publication of the results.

该提案寻求支持以完成大量研究 关于年龄歧视经济学的项目，用于培训和 老龄化和年龄歧视经济学的发展，以及 制定全面、长期的经济学研究计划 的年龄歧视。 研究项目重点关注《就业年龄歧视法》 （ADEA），禁止年龄歧视和强制退休。 这 ADEA 在理论上因减少 工人和员工之间签订长期激励合同的机会 公司。 那么，拟议的研究要解决的一个问题是： ADEA 事实上已经产生了这种效果。 此外，理论上 ADEA 的评估取决于年龄收入的模型 轮廓。 因此，许多项目测试了替代模型 提出了年龄收入概况。 最后，数量相对较少 现有的研究记录了证据，甚至证据一致 对老年工人的歧视。 因此，一些 拟议项目收集证据并测试假设 年龄歧视的存在、形式及其对人的影响 年长的工人。 拟议计划的目标不仅仅是完成这些研究 项目，而且还制定了全面的研究议程 年龄歧视的经济学。 为了促进这一点，正式和非正式 建议进行培训。 正式培训包括以下课程： 就业歧视法。 非正式培训包括 老龄化、工作经济学专家导师的参与 健康和退休调查以及参加会议 以及通过 NBER 老龄化项目和大学举办的研讨会 密歇根人口研究中心。 研究、培训和开发将在 NBER 老龄化计划的赞助。 NBER 的参与 计划将促进与其他研究人员的互动、协作 研究、传播和出版结果。
