Peter Nijkamp has for many years been Walter Isard’s colleague on the European side of the regional science community. He has published extensively on quantitative regional science issues.

Adam Rose was Walter’s first Economics PhD student at Cornell University. He has taught at the University of California Riverside, West Virginia University, Pennsylvania State University, and University of Southern California. In addition to regional science, his major areas of research are energy and environmental economics, and the economics of natural disasters and terrorism.
