Comment on "Who Uses the Roth 401(k), and How Do They Use It?"

In addition to my role as a faculty member at MIT, I am engaged in a number of outside activities. In the last three years, I have been:

(iii) Trustee of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation (www.sloan.org). (since June 2009)

(iv) Member of the Panel of Economic Advisers at the Congressional Budget Office (www.cbo.gov).

(v) I periodically receive compensation for lectures or presentations. During the last three years, I have received amounts in excess of $500 from each of the following organizations: The American Economic Association, the Bradley Foundation, Clemson University, Elon University, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (London), the Investment Company Institute, Queens University, Tulane University, the University of Rochester, and the University of Wisconsin.
