Pragmatism, The New Republic , and American Public Administration at Its Founding
We argue that philosophical pragmatism explicitly influenced the founding of American public administration. We analyze the case of The New Republic magazine to support our contention. The New Republic was founded in 1914 and edited by two pragmatists—Herbert Croly and Walter Lippmann—and put forth a pragmatic editorial stance that supported administrative innovations in American government that characterized the era. We illustrate the magazine’s…
The impact of Depression-era Homeowners’ Loan Corporation lending in Greater Cleveland, Ohio
In this paper, I build on previous historical studies that have analyzed the lending activities of the Homeowners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC), a New Deal agency established in 1933 to mitigate the national mortgage foreclosure crisis caused by the economic fallout of the Great Depression. I investigate whether discriminatory lending practices took place in Greater Cleveland, Ohio. I also examine a second question related to the contemporaneous impac…
Assembling the Puzzle of the Nonprofit-Economic Development Linkage
This study seeks to quantify the impact of the nonprofit sector on economic development by more clearly defining the diverse roles that nonprofits may play in development – instrumental, expressive, and connective. We begin by summarizing existing research on nonprofit organizations and economic development. Using secondary data, we test our model in 360 U.S. metropolitan areas for the years 2001–2006. Do nonprofit organizations produce economic …
Contingent Valuation and Estimates of Residents’ Support for Revitalization Plans
Revitalization efforts often require some commitment of tax dollars for the costs of the related-development projects. Elected and appointed officials often need to gauge support for these investments if electoral approval is required. Contingent valuation surveys can be a precise tool to understand support and concern among different groups of residents. This study illustrates a refined methodology and method for looking at the value placed on a…
What is a Central City in the United States? Applying a Statistical Technique for Developing Taxonomies
We test the null hypothesis that municipalities defined as central cities by the US Bureau of the Census in 1990 are homogeneous-a hypothesis we reject. Rather, we find that US central cities consist of 2 distinct subsets of municipalities that are aggregated from 13 cluster groupings. The article has two purposes. The first is methodological. We develop a method that uses cluster analysis to group US central cities; then we employ discriminant a…
