Tearing the City Down
We estimate the probability that a residential building in a gentrifying neighborhood will be demolished, situating the decision within a context of consumer preferences, neighborhood change, and public policy. We perform a logit analysis of address-level data for every privately initiated demolition permit issued in three Chicago community areas between 2000 and 2003. We find that smaller, older, frame buildings with less lot coverage had a grea…
The Economic Benefits of Public Investment in Transportation
This article reviews the recent literature on the long-term economic benefits of public investments in transportation. It organizes the literature into six groups according to the type of benefit being measured, namely, output; productivity; production costs; income, property values, employment, and real wages; rate of return; and noncommercial travel time. The central question addressed by the papers reviewed is whether public investments in tra…
Does Tax Increment Financing Raise Urban Industrial Property Values
The paper examines the impact of tax increment financing (TIF) on the value of industrial properties in Chicago. Because TIF designation may be self-selected, a two stage procedure is used to estimate the influence of TIF. The authors find that the value of industrial parcels located in mixed-use TIF districts (i.e. those that also contain commercial or residential properties) is higher than that of similar parcels that are not located in a TIF d…

Are Inequality and Poverty Harmful for Economic Growth
This article explores how initial income inequality and poverty are related to subsequent economic growth in the metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) of the United States. In contradiction to many recent findings based on cross-country regressions, the results of this investigation show a robust positive relationship between initial (1980) MSA income inequality and subsequent MSA per capita personal income (PCPI) growth rate. Initial MSA poverty…
Human capital and per capita product
This article analyzes the extent to which human capital differences can explain the differences in gross state product (GSP) per capita levels between the richer and poorer states of the US. It uses 1990 Census and Bureau of Economic Analysis data on educational attainment, wage levels of different segments of the labor force, and GSP to compare New York – our representative rich state – with the poorest third of the states. The findings indicate…
