Agenda

Howard Rosen is a resident visiting fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, where he is developing detailed proposals for reforming US labor-market adjustment programs.  He is also executive director of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Coalition, which he established to advocate on behalf of workers and communities experiencing dislocations due to changes in international trade and investment. In 2001 he drafted provisions in the Trade Act of 2002 that significantly reformed and expanded the US Trade Adjustment Assistance program.
He has consulted for the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Senate Finance Committee, the Inter-American Development Bank, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, and the Business Roundtable. He has worked on projects for the US Agency for International Development and JE Austin in Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.
