Description: The specific aim of the proposed research is to both theoretically and empirically catalog the different ways one could expect consumption in a household after retirement to be different than consumption before retirement. The long term goal of this research is to help better inform best practices for financial planners, professionals and educators in the construction of financially prudent retirement plans. This decomposition can be separated generally into three main paradigms. The first two of these paradigms concern how preferences affect consumption before and during retirement, while the third is concerned with the financial constraints retirement brings.
