| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research investigates the causal impacts of retirement on health and behavior in Japan. To obtain the causal impact, I leveraged the exogneous variations in retirement age by birthyear cohorts to instrument retirement status. The study has significant implications to raidly aging societies.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This study aims to examine the impact of retirement on health and behavior in Japan. Specifically, the impact of retirement on gambling behaviors was examined. Using an instrumental variable approach, this study showed that 1) retirement decreased the probability of gambling extensively. 2) No observable effect was showed on intensive margins. 3) And, the impact was driven largely by men and educated population. Overall, the retirement has been shown to have a significant beneficial effect on population health in Japan. Finally, the effect seems to be heterogenous across different subpopulations, such as men and educated populations.

Current Status of Research Progress
4: Progress in research has been delayed.
Reason
There were unexpected situation, such as health and other factors, that significantly delayed this project. Also, new projects from other grants also somewhat delayed this progress of this project.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I plan to further conduct additional analyses on dataset and try to obtain more data for more refined tests on the subject. In addition, I am considering extending the analyses to other potential health indicators.
