Rode's work focuses on quantifying decision-making gaps through risk analysis, decision analysis, and simulation modeling. His expertise spans regulatory uncertainty in energy markets, pandemic response strategies, and power plant lifecycle economics. He combines academic research with practical experience from a consulting career in the energy industry, where he testified before regulatory commissions and managed multi-billion-dollar infrastructure transactions.
Recent publications highlight his contributions to energy policy (net-zero transitions, stranded cost proceedings, power plant lifespan implications), financial modeling (levelized cost of energy analysis, equity return puzzles), and behavioral economics (communication dynamics, hot potato game theory). His methodology integrates empirical data with decision-theoretic frameworks.
