By increasing the residual working horizon of employed individuals, pension reforms that rise minimum retirement age can affect individual investment in health-promoting behaviors before retirement. Using the expected increase in minimum retirement age induced by a 2004 Italian pension reform and a difference-in-differences research design, we show that middle-aged Italian males affected by the reform reacted to the longer working horizon by increasing regular exercise, with positive consequences for obesity and self-reported satisfaction with health.
通过增加就业人员的剩余工作年限，提高最低退休年龄的养老金改革可能会影响个人在退休前促进健康行为的投资。本文利用意大利 2004 年养老金改革导致的最低退休年龄预期增加和双重差分研究设计，表明受改革影响的意大利中年男性通过增加定期锻炼来应对更长的工作年限，这对肥胖和自我报告的健康满意度产生了积极影响。
