Neglected Transportation Infrastructure
Verkhnemarkovo, a small Siberian town located on an oil field in Russia’s Irkutsk region, is plagued by bad roads and limited mobility. This article explores the relationship between corporate social responsibility and the wellbeing of individuals and communities, with a focus on transport and mobility infrastructure. Some oil companies, such as Irkutsk Oil Company, are tied to the sustainability standards of international financial institutions.…

An Arctic development strategy? The North Slope Inupiat and the resource curse
Alaska’s North Slope region has been seen as an exception to the resource curse. Observers of the first 20 years of oil development have viewed its effects as positive for the local Indigenous communities. Yet the recent decline of North Slope oil production and the collapse of oil prices threaten the local government’s major revenue source. Taking a long-term perspective, this article asks if the strategic choices made by North Slope institution…
Demography at the Edge
The search goes on
In this paper we present an experiment designed to test some of the predictions of the Harris-Todaro model of migration. In particular, we examine determinants of an individual's return migration decisions. Data issues in the developing world and with migration data in general limit empirical testing of the model. In such a data environ-ment, laboratory experiments can add insight to the theory. We introduce an external opportunity to a tradition…
Migration in Arctic Alaska
This article tests for hierarchical migration patterns using data from the Alaskan Arctic. We focus on migration of Iñupiat people, who are indigenous to the region, and explore the role of income and subsistence harvests in the migration choice. Evaluating confidential microdata from the US Census Bureau’s 2000 Decennial Census of Population and Income with a mixed multinomial and conditional logit model we find evidence of step-wise migration u…
Demography at the Edge
Contents: Foreword Preface Part I Methods, Models and Data: Perspectives on 'demography at the edge', Dean Carson, Prescott C. Ensign, Rasmus Ole Rasmussen and Andrew Taylor The challenge of enumeration and population estimation in remote areas, Andrew Taylor, Lauren Bell, Per Axelsson and Tony Barnes The forecasting of remote area populations: numbers aren't everything, Andrew Taylor International immigration trends and data, Kate Golebiowska, M…
Community migration in Alaska's north
Arctic Alaska is a vast sparsely settled region encompassing Alaska's three most northern census areas. The Arctic has been a region of net out-migration for the past three decades. Despite this regional migration pattern, many of the region's villages have experienced net in-migration. The paper looks at the village migration patterns in the region in two periods. Census micro data was used to describe the flows of migrants into and out of villa…
Challenges to Economic Development
An Alaskan economist explores the concept of "economic remoteness" as it applies to the development of northern regions. The objective is to extend the range of factors assessed in northern economic studies beyond largely physical criteria (e.g., climate and location) to encompass cultural and institutional variables in which "remoteness" also may play a role. The concept is used as a basis for examining contradictions in economic structure, the …
Development in Remote Regions
This article assesses a recent body of research on economic development and socio-political change in northern and other remote regions of developed Western nations. The regions include northern Canada, Alaska, northern Scandinavia, Australia's Northern Territory, and Micronesia. Research topics covered are theoretical perspectives, resource development, Native claims, and village economies. "Remote regions" are physically, economically, and poli…
Fiscal Impacts of Suburbanization Case Study
The fiscal crisis faced by many metropolitan area central cities is a well known phenomena. Much past research has suggested that the suburbanization of the population has been primarily responsible for the central city fiscal problems. This paper analyzes the potential fiscal consequences of a capital construction project that would increase the rate of suburbanization of the Anchorage metropolitan population. This is particularly interesting si…
