  This version January 2012
  In this paper we study the retirement patterns of couples in a multi-country setting using the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) dataset. In particular we test whether women's (men's) transitions out of the labor force are directly related to the actual realization of their husbands' (wives') transition, using the institutional variation in country-specific early and normal retirement ages to instrument the latter. Exploiting the discontinuities in retirement behavior across countries, we find significant evidence of complementarities in the wives' transitions out of the labor force. Our estimates indicate that husbands' retirement leads to a 30 percent increase in the probability of wives' also leaving the labor force. Our empirical strategy allows us to give a causal interpretation to the effect we estimate. In addition, this effect has important implications for policy analysis.
