Economic theory and development planning in the Arctic regions: A study in plural economy
This is a paper on economic method and strategy, in which the aim is to apply economic theory to the task of practical development planning in a peripheral regional economy. This is done in the form of a case study on the Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada. There are four main sections. First, the...

A third section deals with determinants and mechanisms of economic growth; multiplier and linkage effects are defined, evidence of their operation is given, and the income and expenditure of government is analyzed. The fourth major part is a draft proposal for an economic model suitable for the NWT which incorporates the foregoing analysis in a modified input-output framework. The paper closes with a variety of suggestions on how to construct a long-term economic plan.
