Dr. Brett Watson, economist at ISER, was born and raised in a suburb of Houston, Texas. Brett made his way to Anchorage in 2017 as a postdoc at the University of Alaska Anchorage after earning his PhD in Mineral and Energy Economics at the Colorado School of Mines. We discuss how he ended up with his job, and we do a dive into two topics of great interest to many listeners: Alaska’s PFD system and Anchorage’s housing market.
