>Dear Denis,
>
>I am writing to submit the proposal "Does self-employment contribute
>to wealth accumulation for older workers?" for the 2013 NBER
>Household Finance Work Group Research Grant. Attached please find a
>PDF document including a 2-pape proposal, an itemized budget, and my
>curriculum vitae.
>
>The proposed study will examine wealth accumulation of older workers
>who become self-employed after 55 years old. Previous studies
>suggest that household wealth is an important determinant of older
>workers' decision to enter self-employment. However, little is known
>about the contribution of self-employment to wealth accumulation for
>older workers. This study investigates the trajectory of wealth
>accumulation among self-employed older workers using data from the
>1984-2009 Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). Findings of the
>study will provide important insights into policies aiming to
>promote work and economic security among older adults.
>
>Please let me know if you have any questions.
>
>Sincerely,
>
>Jin Huang
