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.

*Published: This paper was subsequently published as Forecasting Nursing Home Utilization of Elderly Americans, Andrew Dick, Alan M. Garber, Thomas E. MaCurdy, in NBER book Studies in the Economics of Aging (1994)
