Facing a downturn is hard enough without falling into the common traps in the way we save, invest and spend. Assistant Professor of Marketing Grant Donnelly says his research suggests that discussing money with your partner in hard times can help your relationship and finances if you approach these discussions the right way.

According to a recent study published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, there’s a reason why we tend to cheer for one person instead of a team. Researchers, including Fisher's Jesse Walker, found that people were more invested in the success of one athlete — in this case, Usain Bolt — as opposed to the success of his team.

People enjoy witnessing extraordinary individuals – from athletes to CEOs – extend long runs of dominance in their fields, a new study suggests. But they aren’t as interested in seeing similar streaks of success by teams or groups. “Everyone wants Usain Bolt to win another gold medal for sprinting. Not so many people want to see the New England Patriots win another Super Bowl,” said Jesse Walker, lead author of the study and an assistant professor of marketing.

Owing money to the IRS is not a pleasant experience. Historically, it's been viewed as a major taboo, not to be discussed, but definitely needing to be dealt with. In recent years, even before the pandemic, Americans have grown almost indifferent to the "owed tax" experience. A new study by Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate at Fisher, and his colleagues, many American taxpayers have "surprisingly" adjusted their standard of living when they owe money to the IRS versus when they receive tax refunds.

A new study shows the surprising way that many American taxpayers adjust their standard of living when they owe money to the IRS versus when they receive tax refunds. Researchers, including Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, found that when households received tax refunds, they immediately started spending that new money. But those same households didn’t cut their spending in years when they owed taxes to the IRS.
