The Effect of Bonuses on Participation in the Navy Selective Reserve: Regression Results

Published Date: May 1, 2006
In 2005, the Navy implemented changes to the Selected Reserve incentive program. The likely retention effects of these changes are not known, so we estimate the retention effect of enlistment and reenlistment bonuses to help the Navy determine the most efficient allocation of Selected Reserve Bonuses. In a companion document, CRM D0013385, we provide a discussion of how those parameters were estimated, our main findings, and the policy implications of our findings. In this memorandum, we list the full regression results.
