NEW in the AER, Taha Choukhmane, Lucas Goodman 🏳️‍🌈, and Cormac O'Dea study how couples allocate retirement-saving contributions across each spouse's account. Read the full publication here: aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

In AEA Journals AER, a study (by Taha Choukhmane Lucas Goodman 🏳️‍🌈 Cormac O'Dea) of over 1 million US respondents shows that many couples do not allocate their retirement savings into accounts with higher employer match rates, contrary to theoretical models of household decision-making.

Yale College has awarded Cormac O'Dea the Lex Hixon ’63 Prize, its highest honor for teaching excellence in the social sciences. “Your ability to make economics both intellectually stimulating and fun is truly commendable,” reads the prize citation: economics.yale.edu/news/250505/co…

"A policy that increases saving by 10 percent may be good or may be bad. What really matters is, whose contribution did you increase?" Visiting scholar Taha Choukhmane discusses his research on retirement savings infrastructure in the new For All. bit.ly/3Ep09u5

I really enjoyed speaking with Lisa Camner McKay about my research. Her piece captures the nuances of retirement saving policy and highlights why who saves more matters as much as how much we save.

publication day of our new book with augustin landier ! We make an ultra-simple point: it is not possible to think about economics separately from moral values, and it's okay. We argue that moral tradeoffs are everywhere, and they must be confronted head-on.
