Modeling Early Retirement of Deaf Workers via SSDI

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个应用程序，用于创建一个限制访问的公共使用数据集，并使用它来研究经济激励对退出劳动力市场和进入SSDI计划的决定的影响，这些人具有明确的健康状况，符合SSDI的医疗列表标准，因此只要他们不工作，就可以有效地保证被接受进入SSDI名册。具体目标1。我们将为我们匹配的NTID-SSA数据集开发一个干净的数据提取，一个数据字典和数据手册，供我们和研究界使用。我们数据集中的所有5，069名国家聋人技术研究所（NTID）毕业生在1972-2002年之间获得学位，并且患有严重的听力障碍，他们符合SSA残疾医疗列表。NTID数据已与SSA行政记录中的数据提取相匹配，这些记录包含完整的收入和计划历史。我们已经完成了与NTID和SSA的合同，允许我们创建和使用数据集。这些数据将存放在SSA，但将提供给研究人员社区具体目标2。我们将估计SSDI退休决策的简化形式风险模型。分析将包括描述性统计、生命表估计和风险模型估计。一般简化形式的风险模型规格将类似于我们在以前的研究中使用的那些。（Burkhauser，Butler，Kim and Weathers，1999; Weathers，1999; Burkhauser，Butler and Weathers，2002）我们将重点关注经济激励措施对SSDI计划的时机的重要性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a application to create a restricted access public use data set and use it to study the influence of economic incentives on the decision to exit the labor force and enter the SSDI program for persons with well defined health conditions that meet the medical listings criteria for SSDI and hence are effectively assured of acceptance onto the SSDI rolls as long as they do not work. Specific Aim 1. We will develop a cleaned data extract, a data dictionary and data manual for our matched NTID-SSA dataset, for our use and the use of the research community. All 5,069 National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) graduates in our dataset earned their degree between 1972-2002 and have hearing impairments that are so severe that they meet the SSA disability medical listings. The NTID data have been matched to data extracts from SSA administrative records that contain their complete earnings and program histories. We have already completed a contract with NTID and SSA that allows us to create and use the data set. The data will be housed at SSA but will be available to the researcher community Specific Aim 2. We will estimate reduced-form hazard models of the SSDI retirement decision. The analysis will include descriptive statistics, life table estimates, and hazard model estimates. The genera reduced form hazard model specification will be similar to those that we have used in our previous research. (Burkhauser, Butler, Kim and Weathers, 1999; Weathers, 1999; and Burkhauser, Butler and Weathers, 2002.) We will focus on the importance of economic incentives on the timing of movements onto the SSDI program.
