Abstract: Frontiers in the Economics of Aging directs attention to important issues by addressing four topics: the role of retirement accounts, such as IRAs and 401(k)s, in personal saving; the economics of health care; new advances in research methodology; and aging in relation to inequality. In addition to this book's appeal for specialists and microeconomists, it offers immediately practical ideas and methods for shaping public policy.
