This paper estimates the impact of early retirement on mortality using Dutch administrative micro panel data. An unexpected temporary decrease in the eligibility age for retirement benefits for civil servants is used to instrument the retirement choice. We find that induced early retirement decreased the probability that a man dies within 5 years by 2.6 percentage points. The result is robust to alternative specifications and data selection criteria.
本文利用荷兰行政微观面板数据估计了提前退休对死亡率的影响。公务员退休福利资格年龄意外的临时降低被用来作为退休选择的工具变量。我们发现,诱导提前退休使男性在5年内死亡的概率降低了2.6个百分点。该结果在不同的设定和数据选择标准下都很稳健。
