Andrew G. Biggs serves as a Tad and Dianne Taube Policy Fellow at Stanford's Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) and holds a senior fellowship at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), specializing in Social Security reform, public pension systems, and public-private sector compensation analysis.
His academic credentials include a bachelor's degree from Queen's University Belfast, master's degrees from Cambridge University and the University of London, and a PhD from the London School of Economics.

His policy-oriented scholarship bridges academic economics and real-world legislative challenges, frequently addressing demographic pressures on entitlement programs.
His recent publications demonstrate continuity in analyzing safety net mechanisms for aging populations, with the 2023 policy brief on Social Security strengthening reflecting his career-long focus on fiscally responsible retirement frameworks amid demographic shifts.
Professional recognition includes:
- Institutional Investor Magazine's designation as one of the 40 most influential figures in retirement policy (2014)
Biggs maintains significant policy engagement through congressional testimony, media commentary, and high-level appointments including co-vice chairmanship of the Society of Actuaries' public pension reform panel (2013) and membership on Puerto Rico's federal financial control board appointed by President Obama (2016).
