John Beshears, James Choi, David Laibson, and Brigitte Madrian examine participant behavior at twelve large firms that added Roth options to their 401(k) plans between 2006 and 2010. In the year after the Roth option becomes available, roughly nine percent of 401(k) participants contribute to it. Participation is nearly twice as high among employees who were hired after the introduction of the Roth option as among those who were hired before, suggesting substantial inertia in retirement plan choices made at the time of hire.
