Forecasting Nursing Home Utilization of Elderly Americans

No 4107, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: This paper describes the likelihood and duration of nursing home admissions experienced by Americans after age 65. Our analysis generates predictions for a representative population, not for one selected to be at high risk of institutionalization, and should therefore be of direct relevance to the design of long-term care policies.
