We develop a life-cycle model of optimal retirement and savings behavior under complete markets where retirement is … caused by worsening health in old age. Our model explains the long-run decline in the age of retirement as an income level … effect. We show that improvements in health and longevity tend to increase the desired retirement age, though less than …

studies in the economics and public health literatures measuring the mortality effects of air pollution …Prior research demonstrates that mortality rates increase during economic booms and decrease during economic busts, but … overall, cause-specific, and age-specific mortality rates with state-level measures of ambient concentrations of three types …

There is strong evidence that short-run fluctuations in air pollution negatively impact infant health and … contemporaneous adult health, but there is less evidence on the causal link between long-term exposure to air pollution and increased … adult mortality. This project estimates the impact of long-term exposure to air pollution on mortality by leveraging quasi …

all quasi-experimental evidence on the effects of pollution on health exploits changes in short-term exposure. Quantifying … in endogenous pollution exposure. We estimate the effects of long-run pollution exposure on mortality among adults by … many potential confounding effects. We use a difference-indifferences design, comparing changes in mortality over time in …

We estimate the causal effects of acute fine particulate matter exposure on mortality, health care use, and medical … expectancy and generic machine learning inference. Both approaches find that mortality effects are concentrated in about 25 …

This study provides new evidence on the impact of air pollution in a high-pollution high-mortality setting: London over … the century from 1866-1965. I identify pollution effects by comparing detailed new weekly mortality data to the timing of … mortality effects of pollution.
