DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal describes a 5-year training program for the development of a multidisciplinary research career in aging. Four mentors guide my training: Dr. James Smith and Dr. Randall Olsen are mentors in the economics of aging, econometrics, and grantsmanship. Dr. Hal Arkes provides expertise in psychology and experimental design. Dr. Virginia Richardson directs the training in gerontology. Additionally, Dr. Stanley Lemeshow provides support as a statistical consult. My objectives are (1) to advance my knowledge in economics, psychology, gerontology, statistics, and research methodology through didactic training, (2) to successfully implement the proposed research plans, and (3) to develop a research grant proposal (R01). Seeking to discover implications for public policy that will improve the financial security of individuals and the nation, I propose two specific studies. First, I will investigate two important determinants of intergenerational transfers, probabilistic judgments and health. Facing uncertainty associated with lifespan, future income, and end-of-life health and long-term care expenditures, individuals make probabilistic judgments. I posit that parents' probabilistic judgments and health influence inter-vivo transfers to their children. The planned investigation also allows the evaluation of potential crowding out effects of Social Security and Medicaid. Second, I propose to investigate individuals' formulation of probabilistic judgments by conducting an experimental study, focusing on whether the provision of objective probability information affects individuals' subjective probability estimates. Based on information integration theory, I posit that the individual's actual and perceived knowledge govern the integration of the information provided into judgments about uncertain lifespan, future income, and out-of-pocket health care expenditures. With the support of excellent mentors, a comprehensive training program, and an enriching environment at Ohio State University, this award will enable me to achieve my career goal of becoming a successful, independent researcher in the field of aging.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案描述了一个为期 5 年的培训计划，旨在发展老龄化领域的多学科研究职业。四位导师指导我的培训：詹姆斯·史密斯博士和兰德尔·奥尔森博士是老龄经济学、计量经济学和资助学领域的导师。哈尔·阿克斯博士提供心理学和实验设计方面的专业知识。弗吉尼亚理查森博士指导老年学培训。此外，Stanley Lemeshow 博士还提供统计咨询支持。我的目标是 (1) 通过教学培训提高我在经济学、心理学、老年学、统计学和研究方法方面的知识，(2) 成功实施拟议的研究计划，以及 (3) 制定研究资助提案 (R01) 。 为了发现对改善个人和国家财务安全的公共政策的影响，我提出了两项​​具体研究。首先，我将研究代际转移的两个重要决定因素：概率判断和健康。面对与寿命、未来收入、临终健康和长期护理支出相关的不确定性，个人会做出概率判断。我认为 父母的概率判断和健康状况会影响其子女的体内转移。 计划中的调查还可以评估社会保障和医疗补助的潜在挤出效应。其次，我建议通过实验研究来调查个体对概率判断的表述，重点关注客观概率信息的提供是否会影响个体的主观概率估计。基于信息整合理论，我认为个人的实际和感知知识决定了将所提供的信息整合到对不确定的寿命、未来收入和自付费用的医疗保健支出的判断中。在俄亥俄州立大学优秀导师的支持、全面的培训计划和丰富的环境下，这个奖项将使我能够实现成为衰老领域成功的独立研究员的职业目标。
