Recent economic research has confirmed the important role of financial incentives in individual retirement decisions. Relatively little attention has been given in this research to non-pecuniary determinants of retirement like health and workplace conditions, however. The primary aim of this project is to incorporate health and workplace conditions in state-of-the-art economic models of retirement in an effort to achieve a broader understanding of the retirement process. An equally important and complementary objective of this project is to develop and analyze readily comparable measures of these non-pecuniary factors in the United States and Europe, taking advantage of recently and soon-to-be-collected cross-nationally comparable data sets. Beyond heightening our understanding of what causes older individuals to retire when they do, this research will address what could be a serious omitted variables problem in existing economic models of retirement. Thus, the significance of the current project lies in a more comprehensive view of the retirement process, made possible by newly collected data in the United States and Europe, as well as in improved estimates of how economic incentives, and hence social pension policies, affect retirement decisions.

最近的经济研究证实了经济激励在个人退休决定中的重要作用。然而，在这项研究中，对健康和工作场所条件等退休的非金钱决定因素的关注相对较少。该项目的主要目的是将健康和工作条件纳入最先进的退休经济模型中，以努力对退休过程有更广泛的了解。这个项目的一个同样重要和互补的目标是开发和分析美国和欧洲这些非金钱因素的容易比较的措施， 利用最近和即将收集的跨国可比数据集。除了加深我们对老年人退休原因的理解外，这项研究还将解决现有退休经济模型中可能存在的严重遗漏变量问题。因此，本项目的重要性在于，通过在美国和欧洲新收集的数据，可以更全面地了解退休过程，并更好地估计经济激励措施以及社会养恤金政策如何影响退休决定。
