ECONOMICS & DEMOGRAPHY OF AGING

产品说明：（改编自应用程序）：这些研究人员建议继续博士后计划，提供严格的培训，在经济学和人口老龄化，因为他们承担在该领域的关键健康和健康相关的问题。博士后培训的主要领域包括：（1）关于老年人健康、残疾、退休和经济保障等生命过程问题的跨国研究;（2）老年人家庭关系和生活的动态，包括结构、交换、迁移和空间邻近;（3）代际转移的经济学和社会学，（4）健康和残疾的动态及其对卫生保健资源利用的影响，以及微观模拟方法来模拟发病率，收入和家庭人口状况的联合时间轨迹。 这些都是老龄化研究的关键领域，需要一批受过最先进培训的研究人员，包括概念和技术。 该培训计划将通过位于苏麦克斯韦公民和公共事务学院的政策研究中心的老龄化研究计划进行管理。 两名博士后研究员，获颁授学位的人士将接受为期两年的培训。他们将在导师的直接监督下获得第一手的研究经验，这些导师正在进行重大的研究项目。 他们还将有机会在必要时通过课程工作接受进一步培训。 他们将积极参与以跨学科合作和批评为标志的丰富的知识环境，以及一系列研讨会和其他培训和专业成长的机会。

DESCRIPTION: (adapted from the application): These investigators propose to continue a postdoctoral program that provides rigorous training in the economics and demography of aging as they bear upon crucial health and health-related issues in the field. Major areas of postdoctoral training emphasis include (1) cross-national studies on life-course issues of health, disability, retirement, and economic security for older persons, (2) the dynamics of family relationships and caregiving for older people, including structure, exchange, migration, and spatial proximity, (3) the economics and sociology ofinter- generational transfers, (4) the dynamics of health and disability and their implications for health care resource utilization, and microsimulation approaches to modeling the joint-time trajectories of morbidity, income, and family demographic circumstances. These are critical areas of aging research requiring a cadre of researchers with state-of-the-art training, both conceptual and technical. The training program will be administered through the Aging Studies Program in the Center for Policy Research located in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at SU. Two postdoctoral fellows with the Ph.D. degree will be appointed for two year training periods. They will acquire first-hand research experience under the direct supervision of preceptors working on major ongoing research projects. They will also have an opportunity to pursue further training through course work where necessary. They will be actively involved in a rich intellectual environment marked by interdisciplinary collaboration and criticism, and a range of seminars and other opportunities for training and professional growth.
