Older residents are an important economic entity that may not be fully appreciated by the community in which they reside. “Seniors” are often portrayed as a drain on local healthcare systems, a dangerous addition to local roadways, a net drain on local resources, and carry the stigma of living on fixed incomes. These perceptions may be more acute in geographic areas where seniors tend to migrate when they retire. This study compares demographic profiles of people over the age of 64 that currently reside or have migrated to several traditional tourist destinations. Tourist destinations attract retirees to such an extent that older citizens are a larger proportion of the area’s population and economic base than the average community. The presence of older residents in each community is assumed to enhance the economic activity to a greater degree than local leaders and younger residents may realize. Variables addressed include housing, transportation, sources of income, healthcare, and spending patterns. Results suggest that smaller communities benefit from the presence of older residents to a greater degree than larger, more populated tourist economies.

Historically, the majority of rural people worked on farms. Consequently, rural policies were largely national-level agricultural policies. Those times have long since past. Most farms are in nonmetro areas, but most nonmetro people are not associated with agriculture. At a national level and in major agricultural states, farmer households have a higher level of financial well-being than do other households, on average. However, there are still farmer households that are financially disadvantaged. This paper will provide a conceptual framework that allows for an integrative analysis of farmer and rural households. The framework will be of value in considering the suite of policies affecting persons engaged in the industry of agriculture, the rural disadvantaged, and the vitality of rural places.

When pursuing economic development, regions are generally faced with two
broad choices: targeting a specific industry through the use of tax abatements
and other subsidies, or targeting a specific location (ie.
an Enterprise Zone) by offering general incentives to any firm willing to
locate there. This decision is particularly important when we consider
disadvantaged regions attempting economic revitalization, since the path taken
may have significant consequences for the region’s income distribution. The
welfare of a region’s original residents may be dramatically different between
the two options as a result of in-migrants, changing employment, and
fluctuating real incomes. Likewise, tax burdens may be shifted between business
and residential property owners as a result of the incentive program.
Multi-Jurisdictional regions compound the potential effects as the location and
type of economic development is likely to spillover and yield differing welfare
changes for particular jurisdictions within the region. We examine this
situation using a multi-regional CGE model of counties in southern

The business climate is an important factor that can have significant impact
on business entry, survival and success. An entrepreneur examines the business
climate for potential entrance and wealth creation. Existing businesses
constantly react to changing business conditions for survival and growth. Many
firms leave the market as a result of unfavorable business climate in order to
minimize further loss, while some firms migrate to other locations that appear
to have more potential for success. Degree of conduciveness for business entry
or survival is measured using different indices. These indices measure the
“business climate” and often these business climate indices are used in policy
decisions. There are about eight different indices and the common one is the
"Small Business Survival Index," which is produced annually by the
Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council. In 2000
Knowledge of the factors that influence a firm's lifespan across regions within a state promotes a greater understanding of economic environments. The effects of regional characteristics on business survival are examined for Tennessee-based firms from 1998 to 2004. Rates of survival are compared for firms across the geographical regions within the state, controlling for inherent variation in business environments. This includes analyzing how survival rates differ by designated economic growth regions within the state. In addition, an econometric model is estimated to determine what regional characteristics influence survivability for Tennessee-based firms.
We study the impact of migration on racial occupational mobility for male job changers. Our descriptive study suggests directions for future research on the relationship between migration and racial occupational segregation and could be a step toward a better understanding of persistent racial earnings differences. We combine the NLSY79 work history panel data with the Geocode data in order to link information about workers' experience in previous occupations (occupation match quality) with data on their location decisions. We first compute a dissimilarity index, which shows evidence of occupational racial segregation both before and after the job change. Initially, migrants are more segregated by occupation than non-migrants. Migration increases racial occupational segregation for bad match workers and decreases segregation for those in good matches. The most occupationally segregated are bad match migrants who have changed jobs by changing occupations. Next, we wish to learn whether increasing occupational segregation results from whites being upwardly mobile, with blacks holding their places, or whether blacks are losing position. Using the 1989-1996 March sample of all CPS workers, we construct an occupational ladder based on average years of education for workers in that occupation. White migrants begin in higher ranked occupations than non-migrants irrespective of match quality; however, racial occupational segregation is reduced by good match black migrants moving up the ladder more than whites. In contrast, racial occupational segregation is increased by bad match black migrants dropping more in occupation position than whites.
This paper argues there are two broad ways policymakers might use industry cluster concepts to inform the design of regional innovation policy. The first, and clearly dominant approach, is to view identified technology-based clusters as targets for growth strategies, i.e., to nurture the growth of selected groups of innovative industries and research strengths in a limited set of regions as a means of increasing levels of innovation economy-wide (termed the cluster building approach). The second is to use cluster ideas to reorient development strategies so that they leverage synergies among businesses and non-market institutions, thus improving innovation rates (termed the synergy leveraging approach). The second perspective de-emphasizes clusters as entities and focuses attention on clustering as a dynamic process. Therefore it is more useful for policymaking in developing and transitioning economies where existing regional innovation clusters are small to non-existent.
The economic rationale for congestion pricing is well known; what is less
obvious is how users respond to these pricing incentives. In part, this is due
to a lack of congestion pricing mechanisms until the last decade. Another

The concept of promoting industry clusters as an economic development
strategy is gaining favor in many states and regions. Measuring the economic
impact of a cluster however, is not as straight forward as measuring the
economic impact of a firm. There are several methodological considerations that
need to be addressed in measuring the impact of clusters. One of the obvious
issues is the potential double counting of supplier chain activity when firms
from more than one industry are included in a cluster. Second, identifying
economic impact multipliers is not straight forward since clusters are
comprised of multiple firms that are classified in different NAICS codes. In
addition, not all firms in a particular NAICS code are included as part of a
locally defined industry cluster thus making secondary data sources hard to
utilize. These issues make it difficult to use traditional Input/Output (IMPLAN
or RIMS II) impact methodology without modification. The purpose of this paper
is to develop techniques to address these issues and allow for the use of
traditional Input/Output methodologies to measure the economic impacts for
local industry clusters. To demonstrate these techniques this paper estimates
the total economic output and employment impact of the Motorsports

Many research institutions usually based at a state university and in some cases arms of state government have provide economic data concerning local and regional economies on the web. These efforts range from merely providing access to a single set of data, such as the US Census, Bureau of Economic Analysis regional economic information series (REIS) data set, to much more comprehensive efforts. However, little effort has been made to systematically evaluate the information provided across such efforts. Data provision efforts that provide information at the at least the county level, which cover at least an entire state, are evaluated here. Example criteria include easy of access, presentation, ease of web navigation, and degree of linking to other sites. Especially important is the level of explanation or analysis that is provided. An in-depth evaluation will be provided of the tools used to explain local economic activity and the quality of such explanations will be evaluated. Researchers and practitioners, who are considering building or who use such on-line databases, should find the information and analysis provided here to be useful.

The tourism industry has been growing phenomenally in the last few decades.
The increase in travel by individuals and groups had lead to a wide spectrum of
destination types for tourists to enjoy during their leisure time.
Specifically, there is a booming interest in history, heritage and culture.
Heritage is defined in the dictionary as 'that which has been or may be
inherited' or ‘something that is passed down from preceding generations; a
tradition’ (American Heritage Dictionary, 1992). Heritage tourism offers
opportunities to portray the past in the present (Nuryanti,
1996). Heritage tourism has been associated by many authors with the rise of
postmodern forms of tourism (Rojeck 1993; Urry 1994). As heritage has become more closely linked to
tourism there has been an increased diversity of sites that are considered
heritage (Herbert, 1995). "Essentially in tourism, the term 'heritage' has
come to mean not only landscapes, natural history, buildings, artifacts,
cultural traditions and the like which are metaphorically passed on from one
generation to the other, but those among things which can be depicted for
promotion as tourism products (Prentice, 1993, p.5). This paper will profile
heritage tourists according to three definitions in the Northeastern region of

The days, weeks, and months following hurricane Katrina presented each of the affected regions with its own unique set of problems and obstacles to overcome. It is widely viewed that the Federal and State measures to deal with such a catastrophic event in the short term were inadequate. The reality of the situation has meant that the immediate task of dealing with storm related issues, and addressing the intermediate problems, such as loss of employment and the emergence of new and unfamiliar markets, has fallen to the local populous. The sheer magnitude of the storm meant that even those that did not feel the brunt of the storm directly had to adapt to a new and unfamiliar environment. For those living in an area affected by the storm, the realities of the situation (i.e. devastation and loss of livelihood) were largely the same regardless of whether they weathered the storm or heeded evacuation warnings and left. The sudden loss of employment can be especially devastating when employment prospects are both limited and in an unfamiliar occupation. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that some areas, while apparently equally impacted by the storm, have been able to meet these new challenges better than others. From a development and policy perspective, questions to then be addresses are: (i) which areas were able to respond better and why? (ii) did skill level and human capital play a facilitating role? and (iii) were there differences in responsiveness to immediate versus intermediate market needs? The answers to such questions can help develop policies to mitigate the impact of such a disaster if one should occur, and in the event of a disaster, how to effectively target support to those areas least able to cope with the aftermath. While data to evaluate this specific problem in its entirety is not yet available, some key monthly labor market statistics are available to examine these questions.
Farm-based recreation can provide an important niche market for farmers, but little empirical information is available on this topic. This paper helps to fill this gap using two USDA databases (National Survey on Recreation and the Environment and the Agricultural Resource Management Survey). The first part of the paper identifies the general nature of farm-based recreational activity, and describes the variation of recreational activity by operator and community characteristics. The second part of the paper uses regression analysis to measure the importance of specific operator- and community-based factors thought to influence the amount of recreational income obtained on farms.
Farmers, as entrepreneurs, in their efforts to achieve an optimal use of their resources may combine farming with non-traditional farm activities, own and operate non-farm businesses, and work off-farm in non-farm businesses for wages. Using ARMS data, in this paper we identify these entrepreneurial activities and try to answer: what are the characteristics of farmers (1) who are engaged in non-traditional farm activities, (2) who own and operate their own businesses, and (3) who work off-farm in non-farm businesses for wages?
Farm operators are an integral part of some rural communities. The businesses they operate often purchase goods and services from the nonfarm business sector, supporting local jobs. The vast majority of farm households also work off-farm, providing much needed labor to nonfarm businesses in many rural communities. And as entrepreneurs, a small but significant number of farm operators have created nonfarm businesses that serve local businesses and retail consumers. Based on the 2004 Agricultural Resource Management Survey, this paper will explore the linkages between farm operators and their local communities, and how these linkages vary by size of farm and community characteristics.

A recent Pennsylvania Issues poll suggests that more than half of the
commonwealth’s residents are “very concerned they won’t be able to afford
needed health care if a family member gets sick.” For workers with
employer-sponsored health insurance, there is much anxiety that health benefits
will be greatly reduced or eliminated in the face of rising costs. For some,
the anxiety goes well beyond the loss of benefits—some fear losing their jobs
entirely. Indeed, recent news reports have suggested that the spiraling cost of
health care benefit provision has had at least as much to do with the recent
wave of job offshoring as has wage differences

Tax Increment Financing (TIF), which began as an obscure economic
development tool used in a handful of urban areas, has grown into one of the
most popular economic development tools in the country and is being implemented
and expanded by large and small jurisdictions alike. In some instances, this
rapid growth in popularity has been accompanied by a change in what
municipalities view as the primary purpose of TIF. Increasingly, municipalities
view TIF as a tool to attract business investment or to assist businesses
considering expansion. As such, the primary purpose of TIF adoption has
sometimes drifted away from strict blight reduction to general economic
development and job creation with municipal leaders justifying their use of TIF
by touting its role in improving municipal employment growth. Due to the
technical structure of TIF, researchers have limited themselves to examining
the development tool’s effect on property values, ignoring its expanding role
in municipal efforts to attract jobs. This paper addresses the claims of
municipal leaders by examining the impact of TIF adoption on the employment
growth rates of
Informal settlements are an integral part of the urban landscape in the
developing countries. These settlements are widely distributed within cities
with environment hazards & poor infrastructure facilities. Authorities are
now trying to upgrade these settlements with various innovative policies &
technological solutions but it is heartrending that majority of the cases due
to various reasons falls in the category of failure’s. This paper addresses
these issues/reasons for failure and the issue of community acceptance and apathy
to these solutions. In this paper, the authors examine the current scenario of
the slum dwellers in the world and the impact of previous policies &
interventions, on the welfare of residents of these informal settlements, who
are typically the urban poor – slum dwellers. Paper analyzes the best practices
and raises certain issue that need to be dealt from the community perspective
so as to make these policy and solutions effective and workable. The paper also
examines the conflicts between the policies and its consequences that are
suffered by the urban poor with highlighting the case of
Nearly 10 percent of farmer households reside in persistent poverty counties, most of which are in the Southern region. This paper will compare the distribution of personal income in persistent poverty counties for rural and farmer households. Income differentials, including government farm payments, will be explored for these populations for racial subpopulations using both the Census of Population and the Agricultural Resource Management Survey.
Since the debate in the late 1970’s and 1980’s regarding the determinants of
migration behavior, regional scientists have recognized the dual roles played
by regional disequilibrium in labor markets as well as equilibrium factors
driven by altered demand for site-specific attributes. More recently, Clark,
Herrin, Knapp and White (Journal of Economic Geography, 2003) used data from
the 1990 PUMS to show that incomplete compensation for amenities also motivates
migration. For example, migrants respond to undercompensation
(i.e., wages insufficient to adequately compensate for the amenity mix) by
moving away from such locations, and they move towards areas that
overcompensate for locational attributes. This raises
two interesting issues that are considered in this paper. First, can the
findings derived from the 1990 PUMS sample be replicated with the recently
released 2000 Census of Population and Housing? We employ a near identical
empirical specification applied to a sample from the 2000 IPUMS to investigate
this issue. Second, given the findings of

This paper examines the roles of local and regional characteristics in promoting innovative economic activity in rural areas. Specifically it focuses on urban -to-rural spillovers of innovative activity. While there are many interesting findings, one unexpected finding is that in essence we found no spatial spillovers from innovative activity in one county to economic activity in nearby counties.
This paper examines whether federal environmental policy is responsible for the dramatic recent reduction in SO2 emissions by electric power plants, or whether declines in railroad costs and changes in relative fuel prices led to this outcome by encouraging greater use of low-sulfur coal. A model is developed that considers the behavior of railroads hauling low-sulfur coal from the Wyoming Powder River Basin (PRB) and is tested using unique data on railroad costs and freight rates over the period 1988-1999. The key findings are (1) that railroads held market power, possibly even monopoly power, over delivered low-sulfur coal prices, (2) that regulation of SO2 emissions contributed to the expansion of the geographic market for low-sulfur, PRB coal, (3) that environmental policy (holding other factors constant) led to an increase in the price of low-sulfur coal fuel, which caused deliveries to new buyers to be at least partly offset by reduced deliveries to existing buyers, and (4) that the observed rapid increase in utilization of PRB coal appears to have occurred through a combination of transportation cost declines and relatively elastic demand for low-sulfur coal at electric plants. Real freight rates declined by 22% over the period, and this facilitated the entry of utilities into the service territory of PRB coal and led to a considerable expansion in the quantity of low-sulfur coal demanded by coal-fired power plants along the rail line.
What demographic characteristics of workers make them more successful in the labor market? In what health care sectors are low-income workers more successful in retaining employment and wage progression? Do local labor market conditions affect the employment retention and wage gain successes of workers in low-income occupations? Using data from the PRISM (Performance Reporting Information System) database of the Oregon Employment Department, we developed models of job retention and wage gain for 8600 individuals who had jobs in three health care sectors: Ambulatory Health Care [Doctor/health practitioner offices/clinics], Hospitals, and Nursing and Residential Care Facilities. Our results suggest that personal characteristics, sector of employment and local labor market conditions all matter in the success of low income workers in keeping their jobs and in wage gain.

While many of their peers have enthusiastically embraced industrial targeting and cluster development strategies, state and local economic development leaders in manufacturing-dependent regions face a dilemma. Targeting and cluster strategies are often tailored to build upon existing industrial strengths; however, economic development strategies that emphasize manufacturing job attraction and retention are fighting two powerful trends – globalization and technology – which limit manufacturing job growth potential. With limited information to discern the likely success of different kinds of development prospects, many local development professionals are reluctant to further expose their communities to the risks of manufacturing job losses and are pinning their hopes on non-manufacturing prospects. Others are using whatever tools they can to keep what jobs they have in an environment of fear and uncertainty. This paper builds a risk assessment tool by developing evaluation criteria to measure vulnerability to manufacturing change. It is intended for use by local leaders in their economic development efforts. Part 1 focuses on vulnerability by manufacturing industry, examining overall shifts in industrial structure in the U.S. and identifying which classes of industrial activity appear highly vulnerable to over-seas competition or are otherwise poorer growth prospects. Part 2 focuses on community vulnerability indicators and responses to manufacturing job-loss shocks. This analysis will compare similarities and differences in the recovery experiences of Midwestern counties suffering major manufacturing job-loss shocks from 1990-1993 and from 1998-2000. Counties will be assessed as to their overall manufacturing dependence (low, medium, or high) and how they fared, using several demographic, economic, and social measures of progress.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) publishes annual estimates of state disposable income, the difference between state personal income and state personal current taxes. BEA also publishes annual estimates of personal income for sub-state areas, but BEA does not publish corresponding estimates of disposable personal income, due to the absence of estimates of taxes. This paper researches practical and conceptual issues in producing sub-state personal current taxes, investigates source data availability, and presents annual estimates of disposable personal income for the 361 metropolitan areas for 2000 and 2001. The methodology relies on sub-state IRS personal tax data and individual state data. Also, preliminary estimates of DPI are presented for the 179 BEA economic areas. Session BEA

Politicians and policy analysts sometimes want to know how an event, program, or project will affect different groups among their constituencies. In other cases, concerns are raised about the relative benefits of such economic activities on different socio-economic groups. With such goals in mind, we extended regional input-output models so they can translate jobs impacts so they can be expressed in terms of almost any variable available in the decennial U.S. Census. The key to converting jobs impacts in this manner is to transform jobs by industry into a fairly detailed set of occupations. This is necessary because occupations typically have a far greater association with workers’ socio-economic characteristics than do industries. Once this is transformation is complete, one need only transform the occupational breakout of jobs into Census variables using their cross tabulations with the occupations, which are also detailed in the Census. In this paper, we will discuss the data sources required and the mathematics that need to be applied. We then present examples of such impacts for operations of projects proposed in 2005 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP). The projects are a sample of those for which the NTHP applied for New Market Tax Credits, a program which grants credit against Federal income taxes for making qualified equity investments in designated Community Development Entities.
In an age of mass immigration, assimilation is critical not only to the success of the immigrants but also to the success of their descendants. This paper presents outline for an economic theory of assimilation based on the assumption that both immigrants and natives invest in assimilation, that both may in fact move in the direction of the "other," and that the notion of "cultural distance" is subjective and reversible.
Extensive literature suggests perceptions of local police protection have a direct impact on levels of crime, poverty, and the communities’ economy. Our results indicate a direct correlation between the values put on local churches and the perceptions of police protection within the community. Individuals who put a high value on going to church are more likely to feel a strong sense of police protection and personal safety. Individuals who put a low value on local churches have a distinctly lower opinion of police protection and personal safety. Our results indicate that a positive opinion of local churches enhances ones feeling of overall safety.

This study examines the attenuation of urban agglomeration effects (broadly defined) on the growth of nearby cities and rural communities. For example, rural communities and smaller urban centers benefit from the nearby agglomeration economies in terms of spread effects of population growth, employment growth, and housing development as long as the they are close enough to access the urban center. However, these effects are likely to diminish as the distance from the agglomeration economies increases. In addition, cities higher up the urban hierarchy are likely to have greater agglomeration effects that extend greater distances. To examine this issue, we use data from the U.S. Census 1990 and 2000, in which we regress county population change over the 1990-2000 period on the incremental distance to micropolitan/metropolitan areas higher up on the urban hierarchy. Our preliminary evidence suggests that rural counties are penalized in terms of population growth from being more distant from small urban centers (micropolitan areas) and that this penalty rises the further the rural county is from metropolitan areas higher up on the urban hierarchy. For micropolitan areas and small metropolitan areas that are less than 250,000 people, we only find a penalty for being more distant from a metropolitan area of at least 250,000 people. There are no additional penalties from being more distant from urban centers greater than 500,000 people. Moreover, there is no clear pattern for metropolitan areas greater than 250,000 people regarding their neighboring competitor metropolitan areas. Yet, there is clear evidence of sprawling growth on the fringe of these larger metropolitan areas. Generally, the results are consistent with some elements of the New Economic Geography and Central Place Theory.
Currently, personal income as defined by the national income and product accounts (NIPA) excludes benefits paid by pension funds. One reason for this exclusion is to avoid double counting. Since employer contributions to pension funds are counted as part of compensation (and personal income) and since the assets of the funds are considered the property of households, the receipt of benefits paid by the funds is not income but dissaving. Personal income is widely used, along with wealth, in the analysis of consumption and taxation. Although the NIPA does not have a set of financial accounts, macroeconomists are able to combine personal income from the NIPA with measures of household assets from the Flow of Funds Accounts. Regional economists, unfortunately, do not have a similar source of regional household assets. This paper presents prototype state estimates of pension and annuity benefits received by households. These prototype estimates are meant to complement BEA’s state personal income estimates, fill a major gap in the data available for the study of state economies, and clarify for users an important distinction between income and dissaving, a distinction which is not made by other commonly used measures of state income.

Traditional economic growth models have their focus on capital and labor as
growth drivers. Nowadays, concepts of growth and new growth models are
operating with a wider range of growth drivers, including factors like human
capital, knowledge and innovation, and even intangible factors like
entrepreneurial spirit. Therefore, innovations and the capacity to innovate are
crucial factors for regional development. Regional growth is not an exogenous
or independent phenomenon, but more or less ‘derived’ from the ability of the
local business to perform and generate income, and depends in particular on the
ability to adapt to changes in the external environment, i.e. changes caused by
increasing outsourcing of traditional production. For this reason, attention
has been paid to the factors on the regional level facilitating growth and the
mechanisms stimulating innovation both in large, small and medium-sized
enterprises. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and analyze a regional
development strategy based on knowledge dissimilation, innovation and local
entrepreneurship. The first part of the paper provides a brief introduction to
regional economic development and growth in a knowledge and innovation
perspective. The second part provides a closer look into the role of innovation
in regional policy, and discusses whether innovation is a policy objective of
its own or if it has to be seen as an instrument in regional development
policy. A regional policy set-up to facilitate a knowledge-based regional
development policy is sketched in the third part based on results from a
trilateral survey of regional knowledge management in

Response patterns and ordered logit regression identify and rank factors contributing to resident support of tourism.

Gravity models have often been used to model origin-destination flows that
commonly arise in fields such as trade, transportation, and migration. However,
the gravity model assumes independence among observations, and this assumption
seems heroic for many fundamentally spatial problems. We extend the traditional
gravity model using a combination of three spatial connectivity matrices for
origin, destination, and origin-to-destination dependence as well as provide
new technical results that greatly simplify likelihood-based and Bayesian
estimation of the model. A family of spatial econometric model specifications

In this study we explore the role of amenities and quality of life indicators in the migration decisions of older persons. Using Geographically Weighted Regression methods we explore how these attributes vary over space. We find that amenity and quality of life factors vary not only over age classifications but also over space. Factors that help explain the migration patterns of the aged in the mountain west are very different from the factors that influence younger retirees in the coastal southern US.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis’ estimates of Gross State Product by Industry (GSP)–the most comprehensive measure of state production–are currently measured by income components (compensation of employees, taxes on production and imports, and gross operating surplus). The national counterpart measure–Gross Domestic Product by Industry–is measured both by income components and by calculating value added as the difference between gross output and intermediate inputs. This paper reports on initial research to assess the feasibility of deriving GSP as the difference between gross output and intermediate inputs. An experimental set of gross output and intermediate inputs estimates for the manufacturing sector is presented for evaluation. Further research will focus on expanding the methodology to other sectors. Session: BEA
This paper investigates how industry-specific conditions mediate the influence of localized external economies on the survival of new firms. I develop a conceptual framework that integrates traditional agglomeration theory with recent investigations into structural conditions of production and market competition that generate variation in business survival rates across different industries. Agglomeration theory suggests that small and new firms are able to compete and survive by capitalizing on locally available external scale economies and information networks. Yet the structural requirements that determine the relative importance of scale and information as competitive assets vary across different product markets. Thus we should expect systematic industry-specific heterogeneity in the relationship between external economies and business survival. To test my hypotheses, I use a newly developed establishment-level longitudinal database from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. This database allows me to identify new independent business establishments born in 1994 and 1995 and track each for up to seven 7 full years, or until failure. I estimate the influence of external economies on the hazard rate of new businesses using a discrete-time event duration model. To identify the sources of industrial variation in external economies, I interact place-specific measures of external economies with variables representing different types of structural barriers to survival, such as technological intensity, minimum efficient scale, industry birth rates and growth. As predicted, I find that industry specific conditions mediate the influence of external economies, but the results vary according to both the type of survival barrier and by the particular source of localized external economies.
About a third of the agricultural work is done by hired labor. In 2004, American farmers spent $23 billion on hired labor. Hired labor is paramount to many farms’ success, and its significance is increasing with increasing farm sizes. In addition, the role of supervisors and middle managers becomes more important. However, research into supervision and management functions and supervisors attitudes towards their jobs does virtually not exist. The paper analyzes the job satisfaction of supervisory employees who are working in different businesses in the green industry (greenhouse production, tree nurseries, and landscape contractors). Fourteen businesses participated in a series of case studies and agreed to in-depth interviewers of senior managers, supervisors, and employees. This paper analyzes supervisors’ job satisfaction and its components based on interview transcripts. The Atlas-Ti software was used for the analysis of the qualitative interview data. Factors influencing job satisfaction and dissatisfaction were categorized by types, including achievement, recognition, work itself, supervision, interpersonal relationships, compensation, and working conditions. Similar to non-supervisory employees, supervisors preferred to talk in a positive manner about their jobs, and eliciting negative attitudes and experiences requires intense probing. One key result of these case studies was that supervisors, similarly to non-supervisory employees, talked about the same job components in terms of satisfaction and dissatisfaction, which contradicts Herzberg et al.’s theory of motivation and job satisfaction. Specifically, job security, supervision, and interpersonal relationships—factors that the theory categorizes as contributing mainly to dissatisfaction—are a source of satisfaction to interviewees. On the other hand, working conditions, in particular stress and long hours, are a source of dissatisfaction as predicted by the theory.

Recent empirical analyses have identified strong associations between the size of the local artistic community and rates of employment growth (Glaeser 2005) and new firm formation (Lee, et al 2005). It is posited that skilled workers in the most dynamic sectors of the economy value the same factors that contribute to a creative environment valued by artists. The presumption in the literature is that these creative environments are urban phenomena. However, growth in artistic occupations has been rapid in a limited number of rural counties. This paper documents the emergence of these “rural artistic havens” and identifies county characteristics associated with the attraction of performing, fine, and applied artists. The follow-on question of whether the attraction of artists is associated with faster rates of job growth and new firm formation will be examined in a sequel.
In the economic development community, it is common to argue that the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) designation will spur subsequent economic growth. These arguments typically point to three ways in which the MSA designation may spur growth: 1) the newly designated MSA may be better positioned to draw down federal funds, 2) the MSA designation may increase the amount and detail of economic information provided by federal and state statistical agencies on the region, and 3) the MSA designation may raise the marketing profile of the region, particularly with respect to national or regional site selection searches. The purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis that growth rises after MSA designation, using Office of Management and Budget (OMB) designations released since 1980. We test for growth impacts using data on per capita personal income, population, and employment and find mixed results. Some MSAs do grow faster after designation and some do not.
Our research, and that of other economists and social scientists, have concluded that casinos increase personal bankruptcy rates. However, no study to the authors’ knowledge has examined the issue of casino ownership as it relates to personal and business bankruptcy in the county where the casino is located. Given the sovereignty of tribal casinos from taxation and the restriction of tribal casinos to Indian lands, the impact of tribal casinos on personal and business bankruptcy rates may differ from that of commercial casinos. Using county data from 1990 to 2002, this study examines this issue pooling time series and cross-sections in a regression framework (random effects model). Given the concentration of tribal casinos in 19 states, this issue is of particular significance to regional economists.

Interest among academics and practitioners in self-employment as an economic
development strategy has increased dramatically in recent years.
Communities that have lost major employers in manufacturing and natural
resource-based industries will not be able to compensate for the attendant job
losses by recruiting new firms from the outside. Instead, these places
have to look internally, to entrepreneurship, if they wish to remain
economically vibrant in coming years. Given the strong interest in
self-employment there is a surprising dearth of studies on the local economic
impact of self-employment or proprietorship formations. For example, such
firms could out-compete and displace existing firms, especially if they are
initially subsidized, thereby producing no net new jobs. Or, they could
create competitive pressures that increase the economic viability of a region,
leading to future job growth. Whether one factor
outweighs the other can only be answered empirically. In this paper we

The 1992 through 1997 period yielded a marked real increase in the flow of
federal funds to state governments and in state government own source revenues.
State governments broadly expanded the amounts and types of many of the services
that they provided. Around 1997, states began to cut their overall tax
collection amounts and rates. This tax-cutting behavior peaked in fiscal 2000,
after which it fell off sharply. Part of this tax cutting was due to the strong
growth in the economy during the 1990s, and part was seen as a mechanism for
inducing more business growth. By fiscal 2002 most states had reduced business
and personal tax rates, had been through a tough recessionary stretch, and
found themselves, literally, in the throes of a fiscal crisis. This research is
initially a state-level analysis of the pattern of change in local government
revenues and expenditures during the 1997 to 2002 period to ascertain the kinds
of affects that changes in State transfers to local governments stimulated.
Additionally, this research will look at, using Census of Governments data from
