  • Elderly divorcees were more income elastic in living arrangements than widows, never-married elders were less elastic, and married elders were not elastic at all.

    “In addition, elderly divorcees were even more income elastic in their living arrangements.But those who are never married are less elastic, and those are married are not at all elastic.”

  • This -0.34 estimate is much closer to the full-sample -0.4 estimate in Engelhardt, Gruber and Perry (2002), which used more restricted birth cohorts.

    “This is much closer to the full sample -0.4 estimate in Engelhardt, Gruber and Perry (2002), which was estimated on a more restricted set of birth cohorts.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
