Senior fellow, Economic Studies program, Brookings Institution



       

Gary Burtless holds the John C. and Nancy D. Whitehead Chair in Economic Studies
at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. He does research on issues associated with public finance, aging, saving, labor markets, income distribution, social insurance, and the behavioral effects of government tax and transfer policy.

He is co-author of Globaphobia: Confronting Fears about Open Trade (1998); Five Years After: TheLong Term Effects of Welfare-to-Work Programs (1995), Growth with Equity: Economic Policymaking for theNext Century (1993), and Can America Afford to Grow Old? Paying for Social Security (1989), and editorand contributor to Aging Societies: The Global Dimension (1998), Does Money Matter? The Effect of SchoolResources on Student Achievement and Adult Success (1996), A Future of Lousy Jobs? The Changing Structure of U.S. Wages (1990), Work, Health and Income Among the Elderly (1987) and Retirement and EconomicBehavior (1984).

He is also the author of numerous scholarly and popular articles on the economic effects of Social Security, public welfare, unemployment insurance, and taxes. His recent research has focused on sources of growing wage and income inequality in the United States, the influence of international trade on income inequality, the job market prospects of public aid recipients, reform of social insurance in developing countries and formerly socialist economies, and the implications of privatizing the American social security system.

Burtless graduated from Yale College in 1972 and earned a Ph.D. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1977. Before coming to Brookings in 1981, he served as an economist in the policy and evaluation offices of the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. In 1993 he was Visiting Professor of Public Affairs at the University of Maryland, College Park
