About Louise Roos

Dr Lousie Roos is a Senior Research Fellow with the Centre of Policy Studies.

Prior to joining CoPS in 2011, she worked at the University of Pretoria (2000-2006) as a lecturer. Dr Roos has a PhD from Monash University (2012) and a Master of Economics from the University of Pretoria, South Africa (2003).

Louise’s interests include the theory and practical application of large scale dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) models, especially in Africa and the Middle East. She has developed models, including detailed databases, of the South African, Ugandan, Indonesian, Saudi Arabian and Jordanian economies. Her recent and current projects included the analysis of the construction and operational phases of the extraction of new oil resources in Uganda, likely impact of a drought on the Ugandan economy, elimination of the energy subsidy in Saudi Arabia, and the moratorium on palm oil expansion from natural forests in Indonesia.
