The staff at the Institute for Public Affairs have contributed to two books of interest to West Virginia's state and local government officials and others interested in West Virginia's politics and governance: West Virginia in the 1990s (1994) and West Virginia Politics and Government (1996).

     West Virginia in the 1990s, edited by Robert Jay Dilger, Director of the Institute for Public Affairs, and Tom Stuart Witt, Director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at WVU, provides the reader a comprehensive analysis of the state's economy.  Comprised of 13 chapters written by West Virginia University's finest faculty members, West Virginia in the 1990s assesses the state's current economic conditions, presents a forecast for the state's economy, examines various sectors of the economy and the condition of its physical infrastructure, and provides recommendations for improving the economy's performance.
