Dan Goldhaber; Cyrus Grout; Kristian L. Holden; Josh B. McGee – Online Submission, 2024
Retirement plans can create strong financial incentives that have important labor market implications, and many states have adopted alternative plan designs that significantly change these incentives. The authors use longitudinal data to investigate the impact of Washington State's 1996 introduction of a hybrid retirement plan on late-career…

Tharayil, Ashley; Walstad, William B. – Journal of Financial Counseling and Planning, 2022
This study examined the association between financial literacy and the decision to withdraw funds from different types of retirement accounts before retirement. Data from the 2012 and 2015 National Financial Capability Study were used to investigate if financial literacy may potentially influence the decision to dissave from funds already set…

Goldhaber, Dan; Holden, Kristian L. – Educational Researcher, 2023
How much do teachers value compensation deferred for retirement (CDR)? This question is important because the vast majority of public school teachers are covered by defined benefit pension plans that "backload" a large share of compensation to retirement relative to the compensation structure in the private sector, and there is scant…

Lueken, Martin F. – American Enterprise Institute, 2021
Retirement benefits are integral to teacher compensation; yet, most pension plans are designed to reward teachers who remain in a system for a full career while levying substantial penalties on those who do not. Even teachers who devote their lives to the profession but do not stay in a single system for their entire careers are not served well by…

Pettingell, Sandra L.; Houseworth, James; Tichá, Renáta; Kramme, Julie E. D.; Hewitt, Amy S. – Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Direct support professionals (DSPs) provide a range of supports in a variety of settings to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who count on these supports to live, work, and contribute in their communities. Despite this, high annual DSP turnover rates are problematic. DSP turnover is disruptive to people who receive…

Costrell, Robert M. – Education Finance and Policy, 2022
The ongoing crisis in teacher pension funding has led states to consider various reforms in plan design to replace the traditional benefit formulas, based on years of service and final average salary (FAS). One such design is a cash balance (CB) plan, long deployed in the private sector, and increasingly considered, but rarely yet adopted, for…

Fuchsman, Dillon; McGee, Josh B.; Zamarro, Gema – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2021
Adequately saving for retirement requires both planning and knowledge about available retirement savings options. Teachers participate in a complex set of different plan designs and benefit tiers, and many do not participate in Social Security. While teachers represent a large part of the public workforce, relatively little is known regarding…

Universities UK, 2020
The University and College Union (UCU) has been in dispute with 69 universities over the latest valuation of the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) -- the largest private sector pension scheme in the UK. Over 50,000 members of staff were balloted for strike action by UCU in opposition to the outcome of the 2018 valuation, which determined…

Costrell, Robert M. – Educational Researcher, 2023
How are teacher pension benefits funded? Under traditional plans, the full cost of career teachers' benefits far exceeds the contributions designated for them. The gap between the two has three pieces, which may (with some license) be mnemonically tagged the three R's of pension funding: "redistribution," "return," and…

Biggs, Andrew G. – Educational Researcher, 2023
The COVID-related financial market decline and economic recession have raised new concerns regarding the financial sustainability of retirement plans for state and local government employees, the largest group of whom is public school teachers. Using data from the Public Plans Database and the National Income and Product Accounts, I analyze…

Ramani, Srikanth; Henne, Deidre; Kotsopoulos, Donna; Dickson, Brandon A.; Boyd, Carson; DeDecker, Braeden; Hill, Ryan – Policy Reviews in Higher Education, 2022
In this research, we explore responsible investing in Canadian Universities. Interviews were conducted with 31 universities that were identified as having endowments or pension portfolios greater than $50M. We also reviewed publicly available data for these institutions. Universities reported facing numerous barriers but perhaps most noteworthy…

Lang, Daniel W. – Canadian Journal of Higher Education, 2022
When the Carnegie Foundation was established in 1905, universities in Canada and Newfoundland were eligible for grants, on strict conditions that were seen by some as "colonial," "continentalist," or "imperial" intrusions on autonomy; for example, a Carnegie plan to create a federation of Maritime universities. This…

Goldhaber, Dan; Grout, Cyrus; Holden, Kristian; McGee, Josh – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2022
Over the last two decades, twenty-two states have moved away from traditional defined benefit (DB) pension systems and toward pension plan structures like the defined contribution (DC) plans now prevalent in the private sector. Others are considering such a reform as it is seen as a means of limiting future pension funding risk. It is important to…

Kong, Wei; Ni, Shawn – Educational Researcher, 2023
The growing fiscal cost of K-12 teacher pension plans and pension-induced labor market distortions have led to calls for teacher pension reforms. Dynamic structural econometric models are a useful way to analyze the fiscal and staffing consequences of current and alternative retirement plans. This article lays out the benefits of the structural…

Kim, Dongwoo; Koedel, Cory; Kong, Wei; Ni, Shawn; Podgursky, Michael; Wu, Weiwei – Education Finance and Policy, 2021
Public school teachers retire much earlier than comparable professionals. Pension rule changes affecting new teachers can be used to close this gap in the long run, but any effects will not be observed for decades and the implications for workforce quality are unclear. This paper considers targeted incentive policies designed to deter retirement…
