  • Notes: The table shows the results of seven fixed-effects panel regressions with planned retirement age in years as the dependent variable. Data used for the analysis come from SAVE 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011, encoded in the variable wave. All variables are as defined in the Appendix. All five imputations of the SAVE data are used. Coefficients and standard errors are calculated according to Rubin (1987). Significance: *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
