📄 New Working Paper: “Social Defaults and Plan Choice: The Case of Spousal Following” — joint with Tim Layton, Daniel Prinz, and Julia Yates. nber.org/papers/w34137 We’ve been working on this for a very long time, and we’re thrilled to share it. 🧵

If you teach health economics, please email or DM me to get access to an early (protected) PDF of the book. We hope you’ll consider adopting it for spring courses. It’s inexpensive and very suitable for students of any level.
