| Abstract | The Prospective Social Security Wealth Measures of Pre-Retirees data set consists of respondent-level, cross-sectional files constructed from the employment sections of the HRS 1992 (wave 1), HRS 1998 (wave 4), HRS 2004 (wave 7) and the restricted SSA summary and detailed earnings and benefits files. In this public use file, we calculate wealth only for individuals who have not yet retired (as evidenced by claiming SS benefits) (see Section III.C). Each individual is uniquely identified by the concatenation of the household ID and the person number, HHID and PN. We organize the data to match the organization of the RAND HRS data files. |
