Created to honor the work and legacy of the late Nelson A. Rockefeller, the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government is dedicated to enhancing "the capabilities of state governments and the federal system to deal effectively with the nation's domestic challenges." Based at the University at Albany, State University of New York, the Institute's website provides policy makers and others with access to research papers on everything from tax revenues to health care in the Empire State. First-time visitors won't want to miss the New York State Statistical Yearbook. This document offers a thorough portrait of economics, agriculture, education, and transportation throughout the state. Moving on, the "Research and Data" area offers working papers, briefs, and other materials on subjects including disaster recovery, faith-based social services, and intergovernmental relations. Finally, the "Forums and Events" area contains archived video and other coverage of events like "New York in the World: The Impact of the Global Economy on New York State and City."
