Stonebraker, Robert J.; Stone, Gary S. – Research in Higher Education, 2015

Backes, Ben; Goldhaber, Dan; Grout, Cyrus; Koedel, Cory; Ni, Shawn; Podgursky, Michael; Xiang, P. Brett; Xu, Zeyu – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2016
Most public school teachers in the United States are enrolled in defined benefit (DB) pension plans.

On average across 49…

Goldhaber, Dan; Grout, Cyrus – Bellwether Education Partners, 2014
As states and localities across the nation consider the tradeoffs between defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) pension systems, it is important to gain insight into what implications pension reforms might have on workforce composition and teachers' retirement savings behavior. Moreover, it is also important to consider that…

Goldhaber, Dan; Grout, Cyrus; Holden, Kris – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2015
Public pension systems in many U.S. states face large funding shortfalls. Movement toward defined contribution (DC) pension structures may reduce the likelihood of future shortfalls. We address some limitations of the existing literature by studying public-sector employees who are enrolled in either a defined benefit (DB) plan or hybrid DB-DC…

Roth, Jonathan – Program on Education Policy and Governance, 2017
This paper studies teacher attrition in Wisconsin following Act 10, a policy change which severely weakened teachers' unions and capped wage growth for teachers.
