Regular biography
Taha Choukhmane is an Albert F. (1942) & Jeanne P. Clear Career Development Assistant Professor in Global Management and Assistant Professor of Finance at the MIT Sloan School of Management. His research interests lie at the intersection of household finance and behavioral economics, with a focus on households’ saving decisions. Choukhmane’s research focuses on the way households make their saving and investment decisions, examining the behavior of participants in retirement savings plans, the behavioral biases that affect their investment and portfolio-allocation decisions, and the extent to which married couples coordinate their saving decisions. Another area of ongoing research explores how the design of retirement saving incentives contributes to racial wealth inequality.
