| Summary: | Development of the nation's natural resources, particularly its energy resources, has become a matter of increasing concern in recent years. One cause for concern is that such developments are frequently of large scale and can have major effects on the region in which the resource is located. We report on a model which has been developed to estimate the regional economic effects of resource development and, more specifically, evaluate regional policies designed to deal with these effects. The model is used to analyze the situation confronting Alaska as its petroleum resources are developed to meet the nation's energy needs. The results obtained from the Alaska model are of direct interest because Alaska is such a prominent part of the overall U.S. energy picture. In addition, Alaska offers an excellent laboratory for a general analysis of the resource development process. |
