项目摘要

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.

这项提议寻求支持完成大量研究。关于年龄歧视经济学的项目，培训和老龄化和年龄歧视经济学的发展，以及制定一项全面、长期的经济学研究计划年龄歧视。研究项目的重点是《就业年龄歧视法》。 (ADEA)，禁止年龄歧视和强制退休。这个 ADEA在理论上受到了批评，因为它减少了工人与员工之间签订长期激励合同的机会律所。因此，拟议中的研究解决的一个问题是，事实上，ADEA已经产生了这种效果。此外，理论上，对ADEA的评估取决于支撑年龄的模型-收入侧写。因此，一些测试替代模型的项目提出了年龄-收入分布。最后，相对较少的是现有的研究记录了证据，甚至证据一致对年长工人的歧视。因此，一些建议的项目收集证据和测试关于年龄歧视的存在、形式及其对年纪较大的工人。拟议计划的目标不仅仅是完成这些研究项目，但也制定一个全面的研究议程在年龄歧视经济学。为了促进这一点，正式的和非正式的提出了培训方案。正式培训由课程作业组成就业歧视法。非正式培训包括老龄化经济学、工作经济学方面的专家导师的参与参与健康和退休调查，并参加会议和研讨会，通过NBER的老龄化计划和芝加哥大学密歇根人口研究中心。研究、培训和开发将在美国国家经济研究局老龄计划的赞助。国家经济研究局参与了该计划将促进与其他研究人员的互动，合作研究、传播和出版成果。
