AB  - This paper investigates the impact of delaying retirement on mortality among the 
      French population. We take advantage of the 1993 pension reform in the private 
      sector to identify the causal effect of an increase in claiming age on mortality. 
      We use administrative data which provide detailed information on career 
      characteristics, dates of birth and death. Our results, precisely estimated, show 
      that an exogenous increase of one year in the claiming age has no significant 
      impact on the probability to die, measured between age 61 and 79, even when we 
      allow for nonlinear effects of treatment intensity. To test the power of our 
      sample to detect statistically significant effects for rare events like death, we 
      compute minimum detectable effects (MDEs). Our MDE estimates suggest that, if an 
      impact of later retirement on mortality would be detectable, it would remain very 
      small in magnitude.
