  • Notes: The table shows six OLS regressions with planned retirement age as the dependent variable. The columns show results for different subsamples by age (participants aged 60 or above are excluded). All variables are as defined in the Appendix. Robust standard errors are displayed in parentheses. Significance: *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
