Abstract

The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the Asset and Health Dynamics Study (AHEAD) are large nationally representative panel surveys of individuals aged 51-61 and 70 or over respectively at baseline and their spouses. The objective of this paper is to find evidence about anchoring and acquiescence bias in HRS asset data in a way that controls for selection.
