Howard) of Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend: Examining Its Suitability as a Model (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) — the standard scholarly examination of the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend as a template for a citizen's dividend, and a key source for the political-durability lesson carried on resource-rent dividends work.[1] He has also written for popular Georgist outlets on exporting the Alaska model.[2]
