Retirement and Disability Research Center
The NBER Retirement and Disability Research Center (RDRC) was one of six Centers funded by a cooperative agreement with the Social Security Administration as part of its Retirement and Disability Research Consortium. The Consortium fostered research on matters related to retirement and disability policy. The goal of the Consortium was to strengthen the SSA’s capacity to undertake research, evaluation, and policy development and to contribute to the broader understanding of policy issues related to retirement and disability topics.
Many of the NBER studies addressing retirement and disability research, and supported by the RDRC, were summarized in The Bulletin on Retirement and Disability.
