Behavior Change in Health and Saving

描述（由申请人提供）：该申请将在国家经济研究局创建一个关于健康和储蓄行为改变的皇家中心。通过试点项目和集中管理核心的协调和规划，中心将寻求机会，将我们在老龄化经济学方面的学术研究的基本成果转化为实际的现实应用，以改善老年人的健康和经济福祉。该中心将制定和开展一系列试点项目，研究可扩展的体制和政策干预措施如何影响保健和储蓄领域的行为。一个特别目标是将已经在退休储蓄领域开发并成功应用的成功行为干预措施转化为健康行为领域。该中心支持的实验干预将涵盖一系列与健康相关的行为、金融行为的多个方面、多种渠道，以及在NBER进行的一系列关于储蓄行为、健康行为和行为经济学的其他研究，这些研究将在Roybal中心管理核心的保护下进行协调。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application would create at the NBER a Roybal Center on behavior change in health and saving. Through experimental pilot projects and the coordination and planning of a centralized management core, the Center will seek out opportunities for translating basic findings from our academic research in the economics of aging into practical real-life applications that improve health and economic well-being at older ages. The Center will develop and undertake a series of pilot projects to study how scalable institutional and policy interventions affect behavior in the domains of health and savings. A particular goal is to translate successful behavioral interventions already developed and successfully applied in the domain of retirement savings to the domain of health behavior. The experimental interventions supported by the Center will cover a range of health-related behavior, multiple aspects of financial behavior, a diversity of channels thrther with a range of other research on saving behavior, health behavior and behavioral economics taking place at the NBER, will be coordinated under the umbrella of a Roybal Center management core.
