Bio
Professor Puelz arrived in Cox in 1992 as a member of the Finance Department. While research has focused on insurance economics, it has rotated toward financial literacy. Academic teaching experience includes corporate finance, principles of risk and insurance, corporate risk management, life-cycle economics, and employee benefits. SMU service has included university-wide committees, such as the Human Resources core planning team, Presidential Commission on Persons with Needs and Disabilities, and the Operational Excellence for the 2nd Century Finance Initiative Team. Within Cox, Professor Puelz has worked to integrate practitioners with Cox students through the Insurance Council. -
