![]() Jonathan King Economist
Jonathan King joined Northern Economics, Inc in March 2003 as a economist specializing in both fisheries and land
use issues. His is greatly amused by the fact that this focus could easily describe as an entree option in a nice
restaurant (surf n' turf). His work at NEI has included regulatory policy analysis for issues before the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council, and consulting on land use projects in the Anchorage area.
Jonathan has been a professional economics consultant since graduating with a B.A in economics and class valedictorian from St. Lawrence University in 1996. From 1996 until 2000 he worked as an economist for Triangle Economic Research in Durham, NC. His work at TER focused on natural resource damage assessments and the valuation pollution induced changes in recreational fishing levels. Jonathan returned to school in September 2000 and completed his M.Sc. in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics in August 2002. His thesis analyzed the property tax implications of conservation easements on municipal property taxes in Vermont. In the months between graduation and joining NEI, Jonathan worked for James Anderson, PhD at J.L. Anderson Associates in Matunuck, RI. His work with Dr. Anderson on salmon pricing and seafood markets led to his current position at NEI and authorship of three chapters in the 2003 book "The International Seafood and Fish Trade." Outside the office Jonathan enjoys a wide range of hobbies including fishing, water sports, cooking, gardening, and reading- all things that Alaska offers plenty of opportunities to do. Claim to Fame: I was sitting in a bar near the arctic circle in Petrazovodsk, USSR drinking a Pepsi when the Berlin Wall fell. Brain Teaser/ Curious About: Why does Danby Four Corners, Vermont only have three corners? Why Alaska: Opportunity, Opportunity, Opportunity.
