Retiree Health Benefit Coverage and Retirement

Abstract: Abstract Labor markets and health insurance are closely linked in the United States because many employers provide health insurance to both current and retired workers. Economists and policy analysts have paid much attention to the reasons for and consequences of employer provision of health insurance (HI) to current employees — see, for example, Rosen (2000) for a review and discussion — but retiree health benefits (RHB) have received far less attention, at least in part because data on them have been scarce.
