Areas of Expertise:
I have been a public policy researcher at the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) of the University of Alaska Anchorage since 1975 and became Institute Director in 2001. ISER is within the College of Business and Public Policy where I have a joint appointment in the Department of Economics. My primary research interests are in these areas:
Regional Economic Analysis. I am responsible for the operation, maintenance, and updating of several models frequently used to analyze various aspects of the Alaska economy--an econometric model, an economic base model, and an input-output model. Financial support for the construction and maintenance of these models has come from the National Science Foundation, the State of Alaska, the US Department of Interior, and others.
Alaska Fiscal Analysis. I conduct policy oriented research on the particular fiscal problems of an economy dependent upon the petroleum industry. Much of this work has appeared in the Fiscal Policy Paper series published by ISER since 1992.
Energy and Natural Resources. I conduct analyses of Alaska energy demand, resource valuation studies, and studies of the oil and other energy supply industries

University, Professional, Public Service:
I am active in professional service to the community. Right now I am a member of the Outer Continental Shelf Scientific Committee of the Minerals Management Service Advisory Board and an advisor to the Alaska Fiscal Policy Council.
