You founded the Center for Retirement Research in 1998. Which of the Center's accomplishments since then are you most proud of?
We started as just two people. Now, we have roughly 22 employees, and we're a recognized, credible name that is trusted to not be left- or right-leaning. We created the National Retirement Risk Index, which measures how many working-age households are at risk of not maintaining their preretirement standard of living once they're in retirement, and we publish authoritative, first-class research that ends up in economic journals. One of our major contributions is making complex economic concepts that have big policy implications understandable and accessible.
What types of concepts do you help clarify?
