The Fair Housing Act and Black Atlantans: Post-1970 changes in residential density
The effectiveness of job creation tax credits
Earnings mobility and the Great Recession
Objective The Great Recession of 2007‐09 was a very significant economic event with substantial effects across the economy. An important but unexplored consequence of the Great Recession is its effect on income or earnings mobility. In this paper we explore the effect of the Great Recession on earnings mobility among low‐wage workers. Methods Using Georgia administrative data, we identify quarterly earnings of low‐income individuals over 14 years…

Citizen “Trust” as an Explanation of State Education Funding to Local School Districts
Many previous studies have examined the level of state grants to local K-12 school districts. However, these studies have not considered the role of citizen "trust" in state versus local governments as a factor. We hypothesize that the role of the state in funding education reflects citizen "trust" in the relative capabilities of governments. We measure "trust" directly via public opinion polls that capture citizen attitudes about the appropriate…

Employment Impact of Inner-city Development Projects: The Case of Underground Atlanta
This paper makes use of a unique data set to explore the issue of whether inner-city residents are more likely to be hired by a new inner-city development than non-residents. A selection model with partial observability is specified and estimated. This partial observability model allows us to control for self-selection at the application stage and to obtain unconditional estimates at the hiring stage. We determine, holding individual and neighbou…
The spatial mismatch hypothesis: A review of recent studies and their implications for welfare reform
In 1992, Housing Policy Debate published John Kain's comprehensive review of the extensive scholarly literature on the spatial mismatch hypothesis. This hypothesis maintains that the suburbanization of jobs and involuntary housing market segregation have acted together to create a surplus of workers relative to the number of available jobs in submetropolitan areas where blacks are concentrated. Since Kain's review, more than two dozen new studies…

City Finances and the National Economy
City governments were better prepared to face the 1990–1992 recession than were state governments, and they adjusted their budgets with relatively less fanfare. The absence of widespread bankruptcy notwithstanding, the fiscal position of cities has deterioratedandsome ofthe necessary adjustments were painful. Services were reduced as real per capita expenditure growth declined, taxes were increased, and the entire local government sector remained…
Municipal Capital Maintenance and Fiscal Distress
This paper formalizes and empirically tests the hypothesis that the deficient maintenance of public infrastructure is caused by fiscal distress. We utilize a production-decision framework in which public officials combine maintenance and new capital to produce a desired level of capital services. The behavior implied in the fiscal distress hypothesis is treated as perverse deviations from the optimal production path. The empirical findings from c…
The Effect of Job Access on Black and White Youth Employment: A Cross-sectional Analysis
This paper examines the effect of access to employment opportunities on the employment probabilities of black and white youth aged 16-19 years. The empirical results, based on data from the central cities of 43 SMSAs, suggest that the nearness of jobs is an important determinant of teenager employment probability
