Measuring stocks of community wealth and their association with food systems efforts in rural and urban places
Sustainable community development relies on cumulative investments in a broad range of capital assets, yet little research sets forth comprehensive measures of their stocks or the relationships of capital assets to community outcomes. Building off conceptual frameworks for wealth creation, we develop a comprehensive set of indicators associated with stocks of community-based wealth at the county level. Including such indicators when evaluating co…
The shale oil boom and comprehensive wealth of the Bakken region of North Dakota
This study applies the comprehensive wealth framework (CWF) to assess the impacts of the Bakken shale oil boom on the wellbeing of people in North Dakota. In particular, we consider how investment in shale oil and gas production has affected financial and natural capital and how in-migrants and commuters have affected the region’s social, built, and human capital. We conclude that much of the economic benefits have accrued to new residents and no…

Upward Mobility of Low-Income Youth in Metropolitan, Micropolitan, and Rural America
We analyze county-level social, demographic, and economic data in U.S. counties to explore how economic mobility in the United States varies across the geography of the rural-urban interface. We reveal that micropolitan areas-small and medium urban centers-appear to play a unique role in the geography of intergenerational economic mobility. Micropolitan areas help to define the blurred boundaries of the new rural-urban interface, and play a uniqu…

Measuring the Performance of Critical Access Hospitals in Missouri Using Data Envelopment Analysis
Purpose: Rural hospitals are critical for access to health care, and for their contributions to local economies. However, many rural hospitals, especially critical access hospitals (CAHs) need to strive for more efficiency for continued viability. Routinely evaluating their performance, and providing feedback to management and policy makers, is therefore important. Method: Three measures of relative efficiency are estimated for CAHs in Missouri u…

Bowling Alone but Online Together: Social Capital in E-Communities
In this paper, we present a non-technical overview of new forms of voluntary association called online (or e-) communities and explore the implications they present for community development theory and practice. E-communities are groups of people with common interests that communicate regularly, and for some duration, in an organized way over the Internet (Ridings et al., 2002). They are designed to provide users with a range of tools for learnin…
A comprehensive approach to the assessment of tax increment financing (TIF) projects
One of the most popular economic development incentive tools used today is Tax Increment Financing (TIF). Proponents of TIF argue that these incentive programs have fostered new investment and increased property tax revenues in areas that would otherwise have experienced negative growth. Opponents argue that TIF is now used in non-blighted areas-on projects that could have been completed with no special government subsidies. This paper describes …
The Development of a Measure of Intersectoral Connectedness by Using Structural Path Analysis
In this study we analyze the changes that take place in intersectoral linkages in the process of diversification, and the roles of sectors in such changes. Data from input-output and structural path analysis are utilized to develop indices that can be used for assessing the connectedness of sectors (and industries within sectors) in any economy. In addition, measures are developed for quantifying linkages, and the economic influence transmitted b…
Community Factors in Secondary Educational Achievement in Appalachia
Human capital theory suggests that job opportunities will create incentives for students to invest, or not invest, in education. If the economic structure of the community does not reward education, students might drop out of school. The existing research on this topic, which is based on several disciplinary perspectives, is reviewed. Data from Virginia indicate that a higher percentage of service occupations in the county increases the dropout r…
Human capital investment in resources‐dominated economies
The paper relaxes the perfectly competitive market assumptions of human capital theory to derive hypotheses about the impacts of imperfect markets on incentives to invest in human capital, particularly education. The paper then draws on existing studies to test whether the hypotheses are supported or not for resources‐dominated economies. Because of imperfect markets, individuals may make human capital decisions that lead to poverty
