Retirement Policy: An Idiosyncratic Research Agenda

Henry J. Aaron

Chapter 13 in Age, Work and Social Security, 1993, pp 343-356 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Each scholar has his or her research agenda. And the most provocative studies often flow from attempts to answer new questions or from the use of new techniques that no one has thought of before. Accordingly, a person asked to suggest ‘directions for future research’ risks being dismissed either for slighting the favourite topics of the reader or listener or for appearing, and perhaps being, foolish for not thinking of the issue or approach that the creative investigator soon discovers. With these risks in mind, I suggest the following set of eight questions. The list contains some questions that most economists, sociologists, demographers and other investigators will recognize as researchable. But I also include some questions that have endured for decades, if not centuries, and are quite unlikely ever to be definitively settled.
