题目:Retirement effects on cognitive abilities in urban China: Does retirement age make a difference?
作者:Xiaoyan Lei and Hong Liu
摘要:This paper examines the impact of retirement on cognitive functioning by gender in urban China, and investigates the underlying mechanisms with a special focus on the importance of retirement age in determining retirement effects. Based on the data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, we use the mandatory retirement ages and different policy enforcements between public and private sectors as instruments for retirement status. We find substantial gender heterogeneity in the effect of retirement on cognition, with a positive and significant effect for males, but a negative and significant effect for females. By exploiting the policy-induced exogenous variation in retirement ages across gender in China, we provide evidence that retirement at a younger age may lead to more cognitive declines for older adults. On the other hand, we find evidence that the beneficial effects on cognition for males are concentrated among those with higher education and blue-collar jobs.
