Children and adolescents spend more than one-third of their time sleeping. Yet, we know little about the causal impact of sleeping on their development.

This paper provides the first causal evidence on the impact of retirement on housing choices.

The results show that retirement leads to a statistically significant and sizable increase in the probability of making a residential move or the likelihood of becoming outright homeowners.
