Abstract

‘Ageing in place’ is a term typically used to refer to people’s preference for staying in the same home as they age. However, the suitability of one’s home at old age varies with the exposure to health shocks. Joan Costa-Font and Cristina Vilaplana show that while ageing decreases the probability of residential change, health shocks revert this trend.
