Harmonized JSTAR
Harmonized Japanese Study on Aging and Retirement (Harmonized JSTAR) is an easy-to-use version of data from two waves of the Japanese Study on Aging and Retirement (JSTAR) with a set of harmonized variables suitable for cross-country analysis. Using the RAND HRS as a model, Harmonized JSTAR defines variables as identically as possible with the RAND HRS to allow users to compare variables with all other Harmonized data sets. Documentation for each variable in Harmonized JSTAR, including a description of its creation, the JSTAR variables used, and descriptive statistics, is detailed in the Harmonized JSTAR codebook.
