Inequalities in the Duration and Lifetime Risk of Dementia in the United States
Dementia prevalence exceeds 40% for individuals in advanced old age, but that figure is not informative about the lifetime risk of ever having dementia or the risk of having dementia for different durations. This study presents U.S. nationally representative estimates of the probability of having dementia for at least six months or one, two, or five years before death and variation in this probability by sex, race and ethnicity, health, and socio…

Does Home Production Replace Consumption Spending? Evidence from Shocks in Housing Wealth in the Great Recession
Becker's theory of home production suggests substitutability between consumption spending and home production. Using panel data with detailed information on spending and time use, we analyze households' ability to replace consumption spending by home-produced counterparts. Keeping wages fixed and changing lifetime resources by the shock to housing wealth during the Great Recession, we estimate an elasticity of substitution that is consistent with…
Dementia Prevalence in the United States in 2000 and 2012
The prevalence of dementia among those 65 or older decreased between 2000 and 2012, although less rapidly than reported in other studies. The difference is primarily due to our modeling selection into proxy interviews
Future Monetary Costs of Dementia in the United States Under Alternative Dementia Prevalence Scenarios
Disease Incidence and Mortality Among Older Americans and Europeans
Recent research has shown a widening gap in life expectancy at age 50 between the United States and Europe as well as large differences in the prevalence of diseases at older ages. Little is known about the processes determining international differences in the prevalence of chronic diseases. Higher prevalence of disease could result from either higher incidence or longer disease-specific survival. This article uses comparable longitudinal data f…
How Do Management Fees Affect Retirement Wealth under M exico's Personal Retirement Accounts System
In 1997, Mexico transformed its pay-as-you-go social security system to a fully funded system with personal retirement accounts, including management fees. This article examines changes in retirement wealth resulting from this new system. It shows that management fees have drained a significant proportion of individuals' retirement wealth and have increased the number of persons claiming a government-subsidized minimum pension, particularly from …
Monetary Costs of Dementia in the United States
BACKGROUND: Dementia affects a large and growing number of older adults in the United States. The monetary costs attributable to dementia are likely to be similarly large and to continue to increase. METHODS: In a subsample (856 persons) of the population in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a nationally representative longitudinal study of older adults, the diagnosis of dementia was determined with the use of a detailed in-home cognitive as…
Intervivos Giving Over the Lifecycle
Describes financial transfers made by parents to children and their correlation with donor characteristics such as age, and looks at how transfers reflect changes in marital status, economic status, and health

Inter-vivos giving by older people in the United States
Inter-vivos financial transfers from older parents to their adult children are widespread in the United States. Childless people may simply make fewer transfers. On the other hand, because their giving is away from children, their decisions are more complex in that there are multiple potential targets of approximately equal attractiveness. Using data for 1996 to 2004 from the United States Health and Retirement Study , this article examines the d…
Prevalence of Dementia in the United States
Aim: To estimate the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias in the USA using a nationally representative sample. Methods: The Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study sample was composed of 856 individuals aged 71 years and older from the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study (HRS) who were evaluated for dementia using a comprehensive in-home assessment. An expert consensus panel used this information to assign a …
The Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study
Objective: We describe the design and methods of the Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study (ADAMS), a new national study that will provide data on the antecedents, prevalence, outcomes, and costs of dementia and ‘cognitive impairment, not demented’ (CIND) using a unique study design based on the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study (HRS). We also illustrate potential uses of the ADAMS data and provide information to interested re…

Forecasting the Nursing Home Population
OBJECTIVE: To forecast growth in the US nursing home population, as a function of trends in disability and marriage. METHODS: Nursing home residence is modeled as a function of disability status, marital status, and other demographic covariates. Our predictions for nursing home residence are built upon joint forecasts of marriage and disability. We use data from the 1992 to 1996 Medicare Current Beneficiary Surveys, which are individual-level dat…
The Predictive Validity of Subjective Probabilities of Survival
Although expectations, or more precisely subjective probability distributions, play a prominent role in models of decision making under uncertainty, we have had very little data on them. Based on panel data from the Health and Retirement Study, we study the evolution of subjective survival probabilities and their ability to predict actual mortality. In panel, respondents modify their survival probabilities in response to new information such as t…

Changes in Wage Rates Between 1959 and 1967
DESPITE the importance of wage rates in our understanding of economic activity, there are almost no wage data available appropriate for studying changes in the wages received by different race, sex, age, and education groups in the labor force. The only official data on hourly wages, those published in Employment and Earnings, are disaggregated by industry, but not by the personal characteristics of the wage-earners. Data on annual incomes and ea…
