Retirement in Dual-Career Families: Estimates Using Firm-Reported Pensions Working Paper, Dartmouth College and NBER, and Texas Tech University, June 1998 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Keyword(s): Dual-Career Families; Pensions; Retirement/Retirement Planning This paper expands on a previous effort to construct and estimate a model applicable to a family where both the husband and wife are making retirement decisions. The paper uses a more refined model and additional data to characterize the economic retirement incentives better. It investigates three potential channels which might generate the elevated level of instances in which the spouses retire at around the same time. The conclusion is that joint retirement occurs primarily because husbands find retirement considerably more attractive when the wives are also retired. |
