This paper examines the bidirectional causal relationship between retirement and stress. We use data from the PSID for the period 2007–2015. By employing a simultaneous equations approach, we find that experiencing stress increases the likelihood of …
Using a general equilibrium heterogeneous agent model featuring health production, we quantify the contribution of health price in explaining cross-country differences in health expenditures and health status. Considering other country-specific …
Senior adults (age 65) represent almost 20% of the population but account for 48% of hospital bed occupancy. In older adults, hospitalization often results in functional decline (i.e., iatrogenic disability) and, consequently, the loss of autonomy. …
This paper focuses on individuals over 50 and shows that considering persistence and low-income dynamics is essential for understanding poverty. We use administrative data for Canada from the Longitudinal and International Study of Adults. The paper …
The purpose of this study was to describe the social isolation of older adults in the Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood (Montreal, Canada) from the perspectives of older adults and community stakeholders. To do so, a descriptive qualitative study was …
Several income sources can help retirees maintain their welfare and consumption levels once they leave the workforce. One source is public pensions. Their importance as an income source varies greatly according to socio-economic status (SES). In this …
Ce chapitre vise à estimer la relation entre les compétences en numératie et la rémunération des travailleurs québécois. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons les microdonnées confidentielles du Programme pour l’évaluation internationale des …
We estimate a stochastic life-cycle model of endogenous health spending, asset accumulation and retirement to investigate the causes behind the increase in health spending and longevity in the U.S. over the period 1965–2005. Accounting for changes …
Background: Physical activity (PA) could countered iatrogenic functional decline during hospitalization. However, PA is poorly integrated into usual care. Thus, we aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability and effects of implementing a …
