Princeton Center for the Demography of Aging

我们建议在普林斯顿大学成立一个新的NIA老龄化人口统计学中心。这个中心将 被安置在普林斯顿大学健康与福祉中心(CHW)内，由克里斯蒂娜执导 帕克森。帕克森将与普林斯顿大学的一个跨学科研究小组密切合作，他们都是 进行研究，解决与个人随着年龄增长的健康和福祉有关的问题。 该小组包括安妮·凯斯(经济学)、乔纳森·科恩(神经科学)、安格斯·迪顿(经济学)、 Noreen Goldman(人口学和流行病学)、Daniel Kahneman(心理学)和Burton Singer (流行病学和统计学)新的中心将围绕社会经济地位的研究而构建， 健康、幸福和衰老。该中心将由三个研究主题确定： 生命周期中的社会经济地位和健康；决策的决定因素和衡量 和老年人的幸福感；以及对经济学、健康和跨国的比较研究 和衰老。新中心的重点将是整合经济学、人口学和 流行病学与神经科学和心理学相结合，以了解决定因素 随着人们年龄的增长，决策、健康和福祉的变化。新中心的目标将是提供 为在这些主题下工作的CHW研究人员提供行政和技术支持；创建一个 “试点项目”计划，将在这些领域产生创新的新研究；并为 新的教员--主要是助理教授--致力于这项提案的主题，从而鼓励 关于社会经济地位、健康、幸福和老龄化的新研究。

We propose to form a new NIA Center on the Demography of Aging at Princeton University. This center will be housed within Princeton University's Center for Health and Wellbeing (CHW), directed by Christina Paxson. Paxson will work closely with an inter-disciplinary group of Princeton researchers, all of whom are conducting research that addresses issues related to the health and wellbeing of individuals as they age. The group includes Anne Case (economics), Jonathan Cohen (neuroscience), Angus Deaton (economics), Noreen Goldman (demography and epidemiology), Daniel Kahneman (psychology), and Burton Singer (epidemiology and statistics.) The new center will be structured around research on socioeconomic status, health, wellbeing, and aging. The center will be identified by three research themes: the relationship between socioeconomic status and health over the life-cycle; the determinants and measurement of decision-making and wellbeing among aging individuals; and comparative and cross-national studies of economics, health and aging. A focus of the new center will be to integrate the tools of economics, demography and epidemiology with those of neuroscience and psychology, for the purpose of understanding the determinants of decision-making, health and wellbeing as people age. The goals of the new center will be to provide administrative and technical support for the researchers at CHW working under these themes; to create a "pilot project" program that will generate innovative new research in these areas; and to provide support to new faculty--primarily assistant professors--who work on the themes of this proposal, thereby encouraging new research on socioeconomic status, health, wellbeing and aging.
