3. Is Retirement Bliss? Assessing the Impact of Retirement on Subjective Well-Being in Russia
abstractRetirement is a major life event effecting individuals’ time use, economic position and social networks. Using data from the World Health Organization’s Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (2007-2010), we investigate how retirement impacts individuals’ subjective well-being. Exploiting the strict eligibility rules for old-age pension in Russia, we compare the effects of retirement on evaluative and emotional aspects of well-being for women and men. On the one hand, our results show that evaluative well-being is unaffected by retirement, which we hypothesize may be linked to the fact that retirement is socially perceived as a normal life transition and therefore does not affect individuals’ cognitive evaluation of their own life. On the other hand, upon retirement, emotional well-being improves in the overall population, especially among men. To better understand the mechanisms underlying this relationship, we employ a control function approach to assess the causal impact of formal retirement on time use, and use innovative time decompositions to identify the "time composition effects" and disentangle the roles of time use and activity-specific net affect. Our study provides nuanced insights into the gender-specific effects of retirement on subjective well-being and yields useful policy implications for policymakers intending to raise the pensionable age

4. Subjective Health Assessments and Active Labor Market Participation of Older Men : Evidence from a Semiparametric Binary Choice Model with Nonadditive Correlated Individual-Specific Effects
abstractWe use panel data from the US Health and Retirement Study 1992-2002 to estimate the effect of self-assessed health limitations on active labor market participation of men around retirement age. Self-assessments of health and functioning typically introduce an endogeneity bias when studying the effects of health on labor market participation. This results from justification bias, reflecting an individual's tendency to provide answers which "justify" his labor market activity, and individual-specific heterogeneity in providing subjective evaluations. We address both concerns. We propose a semiparametric binary choice procedure which incorporates potentially nonadditive correlated individual-specific effects. Our estimation strategy identifies and estimates the average partial effects of health and functioning on labor market participation. The results indicate that poor health and functioning play a major role in the labor market exit decisions of older men

5. Healthy, wealthy, wise, and happy? : an exploratory analysis of the interplay between aging and subjective well-being in low and middle income countries
abstractIn this paper, we address the relationship between age and several dimension of subjective wellbeing. Whilst literature generally finds a U-shaped age-profile in subjective well-being, this agepattern might only hold after controlling for objective life circumstances. The observed U-shaped age-profile might further not generalize to other dimensions of well-being and might vary across countries and cultures. Our study examines the relationship between age and several dimensions of well-being as well as the effect of objective life circumstances using the WHO Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health (SAGE). Our results suggest a decreasing age profile in the raw data associated with evaluative well-being, while experienced well-being shows a rather at or slightly increasing pattern. However, age per se is not a cause of a decline in evaluative well-being. The negative age-profile in evaluative well-being is mainly explained by changes in life circumstances associated with aging. Controlling for socio-demographic factors, we find higher levels of well-being for older persons relative to their middle-aged counterparts. In contrast, we find that changes in life circumstances have a much smaller effect on experienced well-being.
