Fiscal Policy

ISER has long studied the fiscal policies of Alaska's state government, which has depended heavily on oil revenues since the 1970s. That work includes:

• Outlining potential fiscal strategies for the state
• Assessing potential non-oil revenue sources
• Examining ways to improve the state's long-term fiscal planning
• Documenting how much the state economy and government depend on oil revenues
