dc.description.abstract | Abstract:
This paper aims to provide an empirical analysis of the joint retirement behavior of working couples
in Norway. A dynamic programming model is specified and estimated on micro data. The estimation
results show that a model, which uses only measures of economic incentives: wages and pension
benefits gives a satisfactory fit to the observed retirement pattern. The results also indicate that
husbands have higher bargaining power within the household. A hypothetical policy simulation
shows that by taxing pension benefits as wage income, the labor market participation of both
husbands and wives will increase around 4 percentage points at age 65. | no_NO |
