We find clear and large employment effects of the reform. A simple model in which individuals stay longer in their pre-SRA labor market state predicts the treatment effects well. The employment level before the SRA and the retirement hazard at the SRA are the key determinants of the effects of the policy change. Exploring potential explanations for the high hazard rate observed in the Netherlands, our results point to an important role for employers' effects.- Reproduced https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/pol.20210101  aAmerican Economic Journal: Economic policy
