We evaluate the labor market and distributional effects of an increase in the early retirement age (ERA) from 60 to 63 for women. We use a regression discontinuity design which exploits the immediate increase in the ERA between women born in 1951 and 1952. The analysis is based on the German...

This study analyzes the causal effect of an increase in the retirement age on health. We exploit a sizable cohort-specific pension reform for women using two complementary empirical approaches – a Regression Discontinuity Design and a Difference-in-Differences approach. The analysis is based...

This study analyzes the causal effect of an increase in the retirement age on official health diagnoses. We exploit a sizable cohort-specific pension reform for women using a Difference-in-Differences approach. The analysis is based on official records covering all individuals insured by the...

In this paper, we use unique health record data that cover outpatient care and the associated costs to quantify the health care costs of a sizable increase in the retirement age in Germany. For the identification, we exploit a sizable cohort-specific pension reform which abolished an early...

Ein häufig genannter Vorschlag zur Reform der gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung (GRV) ist die Ausweitung des Versichertenkreises. Dabei geht es zum einen um die bessere Alterssicherung von bislang nicht Versicherten und zum zweiten um die Stabilisierung der finanziellen Grundlagen der GRV. Dieser...

Im Bericht werden die Auswirkungen eines zukünftig sinkenden Rentenniveaus auf das Ausmaß der Altersarmut in verschiedenen Szenarien untersucht. Das verfügbare Haushaltseinkommen wird anhand eines Querschnittes von Daten aus dem Jahr 2015 simuliert. Von sonstigen Verhaltensänderungen wird...
