Notre Dame prof on Fresh Air

From the Fresh Air website:

Stock and bond funds in 401(k) accounts took a hit this past quarter, and many are worried about their retirement funds. Economist Teresa Ghilarducci addresses financial concerns about retirement and offers her own solution to the pension problem.

Ghilarducci is a professor of economic policy analysis at Notre Dame, where she specializes in pension benefits. She is also the director of the Higgins Labor Research Center and a Wurf fellow at the Labor and Worklife Program at Harvard Law School.

Her latest book, When I'm Sixty-four: The Plot Against Pensions and the Plan to Save Them, proposes that pensions should be managed by the federal government rather than Wall Street.

Professor Ghilarducci is still listed on the Notre Dame website, but she is no longer with the university. She has accepted a post at the New School for Social Research in New York City.
