Greetings, colleagues.  If you are like me, and 85% of the u.s. population, you aren't saving enough for retirement.  Why not?  Our speaker this Friday at the colloquium, Brigitte Madrian, is one of the country's leading expert on that question, and many others related to pensions, retirement savings, and behavioral economics.  Prof. Madrian teaches at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.  This week's paper is titled, "Does Front-Loading Taxation Increase Savings? Evidence from Roth 401(k) Introductions."  I really didn't know she was going to present a tax paper, though obviously I am not complaining.  But it isn't that, uh, taxing to read, as you'll find when you read the attached draft.

Hope to see you there.

BDG
