🌟 Work Highlighted 🌟

I’m pleased to share that our research was featured in a recent article by Reason Foundation on public pension debt rankings for state and local governments. 🎓📊

The article delves into the growing challenges of public pension liabilities and how they impact fiscal sustainability. Our paper contributes to this important conversation by providing insights into governance, intergenerational equity, and the long-term implications of these financial commitments.

As policymakers, financial professionals, and communities navigate these complex issues, I hope our work continues to serve as a resource for driving meaningful change and ensuring a sustainable future.
