Relationships between government and nonprofit organizations are undeniably complex. It's imperative that leaders and managers are fiscally savvy and knowledgeable in navigating these sector boundaries. As a resource to you, we introduce our "sibling" blog - Fiscal Issues and Geeky Stuff - authored by Zhirong (Jerry) Zhao.

PubTalkers...Welcome to my blog.

I study fiscal issues: state and local budget, transportation finance, and nonprofit financial management. I use geeky stuff: statistics (mostly with R), GIS, and LaTeX. In the blog I write about my work -- so it is all about "Fiscal Issues and Geeky Stuff".

The blog is my teaching notes, which I use to organize lecture material, to answer student questions, or to provide additional examples. The blog is my research archive, where I bookmark data sources, keep technical notes, or present working or finished projects.

The blog is also my virtual footprints in the "global village.� ClustrMaps locates my lovely readers at every continent. BLOGCOUNTER tracks all the traffic -- with clicks from ".gov� I know an issue is relevant; with clicks from ".edu� I know that I am not alone in a journey of inquiry.
