Dr. Schulz is Professor Emeritus of Economics at the Florence Heller Graduate School, Brandeis University.

Dr. Schulz received his undergraduate training at Miami of Ohio, where he was Phi Beta Kappa and a Woodrow Wilson National Fellow. He did his graduate work at Yale University, receiving his doctorate in economics in 1966. 

Prior to coming to Brandeis, he worked at the U.S. Office of Budget and Management, the University of Teheran, and the University of New Hampshire. 

Dr. Schulz is a leading authority on pensions, retirement policy, and the economics of aging. He is the author of over 100 books, reports, and articles in the general area of income distribution, pensions, and the economics of aging. He is especially well known for his computer simulation projections of the future economic status of the retired population and his analysis of the economic impact of private pension plans.

In addition to the work in this country, Dr. Schulz has lectured and carried out research throughout the world -- including major presentations in China, Japan, and Iran; at the University of Melbourne (Australia), the University of Kent (UK), the United Nations Centre for Social Development and Humanitarian Affairs, the World Bank, the International Social Security Association, the United National Aging Institute in Malta, and the International Labour Organization.

His first book, Providing Adequate Retirement Income, looked at innovative social security systems in Sweden, Germany, Belgium, and Canada and called for the adoption of a new standard of retirement income adequacy in the United States. In a more recent book entitled Economics of Population Aging, he looked at the policy implications of the "graying" of demographic profiles in Australia, Japan, and the United States. His most recent publications look at the experience of pension privatization efforts in Great Britain, Australia, and the United States. 

But probably Dr Schulz's most well known book is The Economics of Aging, first published in 1976. This book has become the definitive resource for information about the economic impact of aging populations, Social Security, changing pension policy, health care costs, and evolving retirement policies. The seventh edition of this popular book has been published recently by Auburn House.

Dr. Schulz is a past President of the Gerontological Society of America and a founding fellow of the National Academy on Social Insurance.

Dr. Schulz is the recipient of the 1983 Robert W. Kleemeier Award for outstanding research in aging, various awards from Massachusetts' governor, its legislature and the University of Massachusetts for "outstanding contributions in gerontology," and the 1998 Clark Tibbitts Award for his work in furthering education in the field of aging.
