摘要:Criticisms of America’s low
national savings rate often hinge on
the assumption that this low savings
is driven by Americans’ proclivity
for excessive spending. But in
Simplification and Saving (NBER
Working Paper No. 12659), authors
John Beshears, James Choi, David
Laibson, and Brigitte Madrian find
that the complexity of establishing
a savings plan can also play a role in
deterring saving.
