China, Korea and Japan
• Very high suicide rates among their elderly
• We want to understand the factors contributing to the differences in emotional well-being of the elderly populations across three countries.

Suicides rates The suicide mortality rates (29.1) in Korea and Japan (20.9) is much higher than in other OECD countries (12.5)

Prior Literature: Relationship between Age & SWB
• By referring to SWB as instantaneous utility (instead of permanent utility), Deaton (2007) posited that SWB would have “an inverse U-shape,” rising at first as people accumulate human capital, self-knowledge and the ability to enjoy themselves – learn to be happy – and then eventually falling as the capacity to enjoy fails with “age” for health or economic reasons. • Socio-emotional selectivity theory argues that SWB increases with age through
successful adaption (Diener et al., 1999; Hendrie et al., 2006).
![Page 7: Emotional Wellbeing of the Elderly in East Asia: Cross-country differences in age gradients and other determinants Jinkook Lee, Ph.D. University of Southern.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110103/5697bfa01a28abf838c953b9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Prior Literature: Cross-country Variations in Relationship between Age & SWB
• For the U.S., Easterline (2006) observed an inverted-U shaped relationship from age 18 to 89 after controlling for birth year dummies. • For the U.K., Clark (2007) found a U-shaped relationship from age 16 to 64 after
controlling for birth-year effects. • Examining persons 16 to 91 years of age in the U.K. and Germany, Wunder et al.
(2009) and Baird et al. (2010) found a second turning point later in life.

Basic research question we want to address• Evaluate impact of 4 broad factors on emotional wellbeing• Basics (Age, Education, Marital status)• Economic (Consumption/Income, Asset, Pension)• Family-Social (Contact with Children, Living Arrangements, Transfers, Social
Participation)• Health (ADL, Specific diseases)
• Explore differences across three countries• If the measurements are different, then it would cause differences as
well• By using harmonized data, we can minimize effects of differing measures

Analytical approaches: Base econometric specification
A country-specific linear probability model of the determinants of whether individual i in country c has elevated depressive symptoms (Dic).
(Eq 1)
The covariates Xic include four sets of variables: basic (Bic), economic (Eic), social (Sic), and health (Hic).
• Basic model: age, gender, education, married, no of children, no of children sq, regional controls
• Basic + economic variables
• Basic + family/social variables
• Basic + health variables
• Full model: basic + economic + family/social + health

Analytical approaches: Oaxaca decomposition
• Comparing the results for country 1 and country 2, the difference in predicted probabilities R is:
]
explained unexplained
where * are the coefficients from a pooled regression using data from both countries 𝛽• This decomposition formula explains the difference in depression as the sum of explained and unexplained
components
• The explained part of the difference is that which can be explained by the characteristics of the elderly
• The unexplained part is from differences in the coefficients of the two country-specific regressions, 𝛽1 and 𝛽2
• These explained and unexplained parts can be divided among the four categories of variables (B, E, S, H) or among individual covariates.

Analytical approaches: simulation
• We use the country-specific regression coefficients from estimating equation (1) to investigate how depression rates would change if the distribution of covariates were the same as another country.• For example, what would the depression rate be for Chinese elderly if
they had the same characteristics as Japanese elderly? • We use the 3 sets of country-specific coefficients and 3 sets of
country-specific distributions of covariates to calculate 9 expected depression rates

Analytical approaches: Common support – matching analysis
The linear regression analysis is sensitive to the support and the distribution of regressors.

Analytical approaches: Common support – matching analysis
• In order to address this issue of different distribution of regressors, we apply the program evaluation method that assumes selection on observables.• Using matching analysis, we examine the effect of the variables
controlling for other variables
