BIO:

Adam Rose is a Professor in the University of Southern California Sol Price School of Public Policy, and a faculty affiliate of USC's Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events (CREATE). Before coming to USC, he served as Professor and Head of the Department of Energy and Environmental Economics at The Pennsylvania State University for fourteen years. He received his PhD in Economics from Cornell University.

Professor Rose’s main area of research is the economics of energy and climate change policy. As a consultant to the United Nations, he played a major role in the development of the first proposal for a system of globally tradable emission allowances. More recently, he has advised government agencies in several states and regions on the development of cap & trade programs and agencies in several U.S. states, Baja Mexico, and Chinese provinces on the employment impacts of climate action plans. Professor Rose has done pioneering research on the aggregate and distributional impacts of climate mitigation policy by advancing methodologies in both computable general equilibrium and macroeconometric modeling. He has also evaluated the economic impacts of twenty energy technologies, including both fossil fuels and renewables.

The other major focus of his research is on economic consequences of and resilience to natural disasters and terrorism at the levels of the individual business, market, and regional economy. He has served as the Coordinator for Economics at CREATE, where he has led several major studies for various DHS agencies. He is currently the PI on an NSF grant to study dynamic economic resilience to disasters, with an application to SuperStorm Sandy, and on a contract for FEMA to formulate a deductible for post-disaster assistance. He recently served as an advisor on disaster resilience to the United Nations Development Programme and to the World Bank on financing disaster risk management. He was the research team leader on the Multi-Hazard Mitigation Council report to the U.S. Congress on net benefits of FEMA hazard mitigation grants.

Professor Rose is the author of several books and 200 professional papers, including most recently The Economics of Climate Change Policy. He has been appointed to the editorial boards of several journals including The Energy Journal, Resource and Energy Economics, Energy Policy, Resource Policy, Journal of Regional Science, Environmental Hazards, Journal of Integrated Disaster Risk Management and International Journal of Disaster Risk Science. He has served as the American Economic Association Representative to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the National Institute of Building Sciences Multi-Hazard Mitigation Council and of the Advisory Board of the Center for National Policy Resilience Forum. He is the recipient of a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, East-West Center Fellowship, International Society for Integrated Disaster Risk Management Outstanding Research Award, American Planning Association Outstanding Program Planning Honor Award, Applied Technology Council Outstanding Achievement Award, and Regional Economic Models Outstanding Economic Analysis Award.
