What We Learned about Alaska's Finances, 1989-1992

Abstract

The principal series author, Scott Goldsmith, is an ISER economist with 17 years’ experience analyzing state finances. Lee Gorsuch, ISER director, guides the design and presentation of the series. Other contributors include Alexandra Hill and Teresa Hull, ISER research associates, Matthew Berman, ISER economist, Jay Hogan, former director of the Alaska Division of Budget Review, and Mary Lou Madden, currently with the Alaska Commission on Post-Secondary Education. Linda Leask edits the series and Monette Dalsfoist prepares layout and graphics. Many state officials and private citizens also helped us enormously by reviewing drafts of the papers, and we thank them all. The series to date has been financed by a grant from ARCO Alaska. It will continue in 1993 with grants from several Alaska businesses.
