The labor supply of older American men
Munnell, Alicia H.; Sass, Steven A. (2007)
This chapter summarizes what is known about the labor supply of older American men, defined as those aged 55 years and over. The topic is of great interest because in the coming decades older individuals will comprise a much greater portion of the U.S. population, so the labor supply of older adults will have a significant impact on national output, tax revenues, and the cost of means-tested programs.

Massachusetts in the 1990s: the role of state government
Munnell, Alicia H.; Browne, Lynn E. (1991-01)

Rather than offering solutions to the immediate budget problems, this study examines the major expenditures of state government and the forces that caused them to grow so rapidly in Massachusetts during the 1980s. ; For the most part, the Commonwealth has been spending revenues on ...

The influence of housing and durables on personal saving
Kopcke, Richard W.; Munnell, Alicia H.; Cook, Leah M. (1991-11)
The rate of national saving declined sharply in the 1980s.

It examhaes the potential consequences of understating the returns on owner-occupied houses and ...
