Norma Coe

This presentation examines the relationship between two decisions many people face in their 50's and 60's -- when to retire and whether to provide care for an elderly parent, and the health outcomes related to these decisions. This seminar will provide empirical information that will be of both professional and personal interest to many of us.

Dr. Coe is a health economist who this year joined the faculty in the UW Department of Health Services. She was formerly the Associate Director of Research at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. Her expertise is in the economics of aging, labor, and public economics. Her primary research focus is how government policies interact with each other and how they influence individual behavior.

We appreciate RSVPs from guests so we can be sure to have enough chairs and handouts. Please RSVP to Yael Yanich.
