Michigan Retirement Research Center

Investigators:   John Laitner, John Bound

The Michigan Retirement Research Center (MRRC) serves as a national research and education resource, benefiting the public through activities directly related to Social Security, pension, and retirement-related policies. The Center has four main goals:
1. Conduct research and evaluations
2. Disseminate information on retirement and SSA-relate policy
3. Train scholars and practitioners
4. Facilitate the use of SSA's administrative data by outside researchers

MRRC meets these goals through its many activities, including research projects, policy briefs and working papers, graduate courses and mini-courses in multiple locations, graduate student support, an annual Retirement Research Consortium
conference, and sponsorship of a working group on data usage.

Funding Period: 09/30/2003 to 09/29/2008
