Aubry is recognized as a leading expert on state and local government plans and co-founder of the Public Plans Data.  He also studies single and multiemployer plans in the private sector, as well as state-run auto-IRA programs.  He has co-authored numerous studies that have received broad attention, and presented to professional and academic groups such as the Municipal Analysts Group of New York, Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and the National Bureau of Economic Research.
