This study estimates the impact of retirement on subsequent health outcomes as measured by self-reported health status. The empirical study is based on seven longitudinal waves of the Canadian National Population Health Survey, spanning 1994 through 2006. To account for biases due to unobserved individual-specific heterogeneity, this study uses a fixed-effects method. The results indicate that retirement has a positive but insignificant impact on self-reported health status. The study further examined this issue using different subgroups based on gender and income and again found that retirement has no significant impact on health status.
本研究通过自报健康状况衡量退休对随后健康结果的影响。这项实证研究基于加拿大全国人口健康调查的七个纵向波，时间跨度为 1994 年至 2006 年。为了弥补由于未观察到的个体特定异质性而产生的偏差，本研究使用了固定效应方法。结果表明，退休对自报健康状况有积极但不显著的影响。本研究还进一步根据性别和收入对不同亚组进行了检验，再次发现退休对健康状况没有显著影响。
