This paper investigates the impact of delaying retirement on mortality among the French population. We take advantage of the 1993 pension reform in the private sector to identify the causal effect of an increase in claiming age on mortality. We use administrative data which provide detailed information on career characteristics, dates of birth and death. Our results, precisely estimated, show that an exogenous increase of one year in the claiming age has no significant impact on the probability to die, measured between age 61 and 79, even when we allow for nonlinear effects of treatment intensity. To test the power of our sample to detect statistically significant effects for rare events like death, we compute minimum detectable effects (MDEs). Our MDE estimates suggest that, if an impact of later retirement on mortality would be detectable, it would remain very small in magnitude.

延迟退休对死亡率的影响：来自法国的证据

本文调查了延迟退休对法国人口死亡率的影响。我们利用 1993 年私营部门的养老金改革来确定索赔年龄增加对死亡率的因果影响。我们使用提供有关职业特征、出生和死亡日期的详细信息的行政数据。我们精确估计的结果表明，即使我们考虑了治疗强度的非线性影响，索赔年龄的外源性增加对 61 至 79 岁之间的死亡概率没有显着影响。为了测试我们的样本检测死亡等罕见事件的统计显着影响的能力，我们计算了最小可检测影响 (MDE)。我们的 MDE 估计表明，如果可以检测到延迟退休对死亡率的影响，
