Impacts of the Usda broadband initiatives program on employment and telework: Evidence from confidential American community survey microdata
Place‐based tax incentives and minority employment: Evidence from the New Market Tax Credit Program
In this paper, we study the impact of the New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) program in the United States on overall jobs and jobs held by minority and rural populations within the 2010–2019 period using a dynamic event‐study analysis. We also investigate if the jobs that can be attributed to the program stayed in program recipient neighborhoods or whether those jobs were occupied by non‐residents. The results show that there is clear evidence that the…
Place‐based subsidies and employment growth in rural America: Evidence from the broadband initiatives programme
This paper studies the labour market effects of the Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP), a programme authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to promote broadband deployment, mainly in rural areas. The BIP is one of the largest USDA broadband programmes implemented to date, providing more than $3.4 billion in grants and loans in FY 2010. We investigate the impacts of BIP investments on employment outcomes in BIP‐recipient …
Moving to the hinterlands: Agglomeration, search costs and urban to rural business migration
Business location and relocation decisions tend to favor urban areas over rural areas, mainly due to the benefits derived from agglomeration economies. However, recent data from the USA show that rural counties have attracted some businesses from urban counties. This is the first study to focus on these relocations and to explore what locational factors drive these migration flows. We pay specific attention to measures of agglomeration in the for…
Local business ownership and local economic performance: Evidence from US counties
Local business ownership and local economic performance: evidence from US counties. Regional Studies. A rich US county-level dataset is utilized to obtain a statistical characterization of the relationship between the size of the local-based business sector and local economic performance. The study also disaggregates the local businesses sector by establishment size. The results do not provide conclusive evidence that the size of the local busine…
Social Capital, Religion, W al‐ M art, and Hate Groups in A merica
Objective The recent surge in hate group activity is a concern to many citizens and policymakers. We examine the roles of socioeconomic factors measured at the county level that are hypothesized to account for the presence of such groups, including social capital and religious affiliations. Methods We estimate a P oisson regression model using counts of hate groups provided by the S outhern P overty L aw C enter for each of the over 3,000 U.S. co…
Self‐employment and local economic performance: Evidence from US counties
Determinants of growth in non-farm proprietor densities in the US, 1990–2000

Social and institutional factors as determinants of economic growth: Evidence from the United States counties
Social and institutional factors as determinants of economic growth: Evidence from the United States counties
Crisis as Opportunity: Local Context, Adaptive Agents and the Possibilities of Rural Development
The discussion outlines the ways in which crisis emasculates traditional methodology as used in economics by making the core assumptions of this type of analysis (temporarily) untenable. Our critique of traditional methodology is limited to its inability to address this critical subset of social problems. It is important to note that our critique does not extend to 'realist deficiencies' of the mainstream science. Rather, support for an instrumen…
