摘要

我们研究了财富与寿命“质量”的关系，以65岁后包含残疾或工作的年龄来衡量。通过比较1996年和2006年年满65岁的人群，我们观察到了强大的群体内部财富梯度，即更富有的人生活得更长，没有残疾，工作的时间更长，但也经历了更多的没有工作的年份。我们记录了这些梯度在我们研究的十年中变陡的情况。我们使用教育作为社会经济地位的替代指标来探索稳健性，并通过分析健康冲击对财富积累的影响来排除对这些趋势的某些解释。

Inequality in the golden years: Wealth gradients in disability-free and work-free longevity in the United States

We study the relationship of wealth with the “quality” of longevity as measured by years after age 65 containing disability or work. By comparing cohorts turning 65 in 1996 and 2006, we observe strong within-cohort gradients of wealth in which the more wealthy live more years disability-free and work more years, yet also experience more work-free years. We document that these gradients steepened over the decade we study. We explore robustness using education as an alternative indicator for socioeconomic status, and rule out certain explanations for these trends by analyzing the effect of health shocks on wealth accumulation.
