Description
After a decade of exceptionally strong performance, the Alberta economy experienced large swings in activity in the 1980s and ranked among the most unstable in Canada and the United States. This detailed study of the course of the Alberta economy from the early 1970s to the late 1980s assesses the causes for this instability and explores ways in which federal and provincial government policies and market forces could lessen the volatile nature of the economy.
