This paper simulates the effects of proposed changes in the social security rules, including the elimination of the Retirement Earnings Test, for men who work after normal retirement age. A policy change that was given serious consideration by the Social Security Administration in 1988-89 (and that is similar to other proposals made in Congress and elsewhere since then) is projected to raise long-run costs by $43 billion net of taxes and to induce an increase of 3.5% in the number of full-time male workers between the ages of 65 and 69. The outcome, especially in the short run, is greatly affected by the timing of workers' decisions to apply for benefits
