Much of Professor Rose's research is on the economics of natural and man-made hazards. He recently served on a National Research Council panel on the benefits of advanced seismic monitoring and as a lead researcher for a report to the U.S. Congress on the net benefits of FEMA hazard mitigation grants. He is currently a principal investigator on an NSF grant to estimate the economic impacts of risk amplification following terrorist attacks, a project for the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center to develop a computable general equilibrium modeling capability to analyze the consequences of terrorist threats, and an NSF project to develop a hazards decision support model for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
Professor Rose serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Regional Science, Resource and Energy Economics, Energy Policy, and Resource Policy. He has served as the American Economic Association Representative to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and on the Board of Directors of the American Association of Geographers Energy and Environment Specialty Group. He is the recipient of a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, East-West Center Fellowship, American Planning Association’s Outstanding Program Planning Honor Award, Earthquake Engineering Research Institute Special Service Recognition Award, and Applied Technology Council Outstanding Achievement Award
