Popis: The State of Alaska is currently experiencing a surge in economic activity as a result of the development of its petroleum resources. Virtually all durable and nondurable goods must be shipped into the state because of its lack of industrial and agricultural production. Washington is in a position to be the marketing and transportation center for Alaska trade because it is geographically closest to Alaska and has the required dock facilities storage and connections with the transportation network of the contagious states. Owing to the possibility for increased growth in the Alaskan economy and subsequent impact on Washington-Alaska trade, a regional study has been initiated by the University of Alaska and Washington State University to examine this trade during the Oil induced boom.
