We only show results of estimation of the effects of the dummies for being age 60 and above of each partner on the retirement probability (first stage) and the effect of each partner’s retirement on the outcome equations. Other controls include partners’ age polynomials interacted with the dummies for being aged 60 and above; partners’ education dummies; a dummy for any child still living at home; area of residence fixed effects; season of the year; and weekend diary dummies. See Section 2 for the model specification and Section 3.2 for the data definitions
