We nd that these reforms increase the participation rates of the elderly and show that the gains, in terms of old age work hours, are non-trivial. However, we also nd that the total labor supply response to the reforms is not so much an increase in total lifetime hours as it is a reallocation of hours over the life cycle. Finally, we show that these reforms, designed to increase the length of the working life of individuals, may not increase output.}, organization = {Financial support from the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovaci on (ECO2011-25737).}, publisher = {Universidad de Granada.
