Abstract: The principal data set used in this paper is the 1995–2010 waves of HRS and AHEAD and includes retired individuals aged 65 and above who are single or married to retired spouses. Our sample is essentially the same as that of Kopecky and Koreshkova (2014) and we refer the interested reader to that paper for more specifics on the construction of the sample. We define healthy individuals to be those who self-report their health status to be excellent, very good or good. . .
