What Factors Explain the Decline in Widowed Women’s Poverty
Historically, women in widowhood in the United States have been vulnerable, with high rates of poverty. However, over the past several decades, their poverty rate has fallen considerably. In this article, we look at why this decline occurred and whether it will continue. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study linked to Social Security administrative earnings and benefit records, we address these questions by exploring three factors that …
The Effects of the Great Recession on the Retirement Security of Older Workers
The Great Recession had a profound effect on the retirement security of older Americans, and the slow recovery from the downturn will have a lasting impact on their quality of life. The nature of today's retirement system left older households exposed to the collapse in the equity and housing markets and induced many to plan for a later retirement. More late-career workers experienced job loss than in previous recessions, often with long jobless …

Policy Watch: Infrastructure Investment and Economic Growth
In the late 1980s, David Aschauer (1989) triggered a long overdue dialogue among economists and political leaders when he published a study arguing that much of the decline in U.S. productivity that occurred in the 1970s was precipitated by declining rates of public capital investment. My own work confirmed these results (Munnell, 1990a). Spending advocates seized on these findings as support for increased public investment. The enthusiasm among …

Woodbury and Huang use econometric models to investigate how changes in the tax treatment of fringe benefits can be expected to influence the level of benefits and compensation provided by employers, federal revenues, and income inequality

Private Pensions and Savings: New Evidence
This paper examines the impact of private pension coverage on the saving behavior of men in their preretirement years. The empirical work is based on the Ando-Modigliani model which permits explicit recognition of differences in expected retirement age between covered and noncovered groups. The data originated in the 5-year Labor Department sample of men aged 45-59 in 1966. The results clearly indicate that, contrary to earlier work by Cagan and …
