The Labor-Market Returns to Community College Degrees, Diplomas, and Certificates
This article provides one of the first rigorous estimations of the labor-market returns to community college certificates and diplomas, as well as estimations of the returns to the more commonly studied associate’s degrees. Using administrative data from Kentucky, we estimate panel-data models that control for differences among students in precollege earnings and educational aspirations. Associate’s degrees and diplomas have quarterly earnings re…
Estimating the social value of higher education
Much is known about private financial returns to education in the form of higher earnings. Less is known about how much social value exceeds this private value. Associations between education and socially-desirable outcomes are strong, but disentangling the effect of education from other causal factors is challenging. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the social value of one form of higher education. We elicit willingness to pay for the Ke…

Using a Metropolitan-area Econometric Model to Analyse Economic Development Proposals
This paper shows how an integrated input-output and econometric model has been developed and used by a municipal government to evaluate economic development proposals. The model simulates the impact of attracting or retaining various types of new businesses and calculates fiscal impacts for state and local governments. It can be used to determine a government's bottom-line tax concession or how much it is witting to give up to attract new busines…
The Interindustry Employment Demand Variable
Moghadam and Ballard's I-SAMIS (integrated small-area modeling of the industrial sector) approach of linking input—output and econometric models is extended in three ways: (1) the interindustry demand variable (IDV), which incorporates input—output linkages into time-series employment equations, is modified to reflect differences in labor productivity among industries; (2) the IDVs are calculated by using a regional, rather than national, input—o…
