Retirement and Disability Research Center
The NBER Retirement and Disability Research Center is one of four Centers funded by a cooperative agreement with the Social Security Administration as part of its Retirement and Disability Research Consortium. The aim is to develop high-quality research on matters related to retirement and disability policy. As a member of this consortium, the NBER Retirement and Disability Research Center conducts research to inform evidence-based retirement and disability policy design.
It continues work supported by SSA through NBER's Retirement Research Center and Disability Research Center. Key findings from recent years of research from these Centers are reported in Social Security Bulletin, Vol. 80 No. 1: Social Security and Financial Security at Older Ages; and Disability Policy, Program Enrollment, Work, and Well-Being Among People with Disabilities.
