Small business recovery and resilience in the aftermath of hurricane Harvey
Typology of household adaptations to infrastructure system service interruptions
Household Adaptations to and Impacts from Electric Power and Water Outages in the Texas 2021 Winter Storm
In February 2021, a winter storm brought snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, which caused severe interruptions in the electric power and water supply systems in Texas and surrounding areas. In this paper, we use survey data to investigate the ways that households adapted and reacted to those outages. The analysis aimed to determine (1) how common different household adaptations were, (2) how adaptations varied with outage and household characte…
Probabilistic Modeling of Small Business Recovery after a Hurricane
Economic resilience defines a community’s ability to prevent, withstand, and quickly recover from major disruptions to its economic base. Instead of having repeated damage and need for outside assistance, resilient communities proactively protect themselves against hazards, build self-sufficiency, and become more sustainable over the long term. Within these communities, small businesses are an important driver of economic growth and employment. H…
A Time Series Approach to Examining Regional Economic Resiliency to Hurricanes
Hurricanes disrupt business processes and activities, energy distribution and consumption, and services of infrastructure and lead to a reallocation of resources and their uses. This research models the relationship among economic and engineering measures of the state of the built environment in order to provide insight into a region's ability to withstand and recover from a future hurricane. As such, we provide a quantitative approach to modelin…

Transmission of employment shocks before and after the Oklahoma City tornado
This study examined the economic impact of the May 3, 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak on the labor markets of Oklahoma City (OK), Wichita (KS), and Kansas City (MO). In particular, this article examines the transmission of shocks to employment growth across these different labor markets. Using monthly employment data from January 1990 to December 2004, we provide empirical evidence on the cross-market relationships that existed before and after th…
The Employment Effects of a "Good Cause" Discharge Standard in Montana
With passage of a 1987 statute, Montana became the only state to adopt a "good cause" standard for discharge of employees with contracts of unspecified duration. The new statute was a legislative response to a series of Montana Supreme Court cases, starting in 1980, that gave otherwise at-will employees a broad right to sue for wrongful discharge. Estimating a policy intervention model using monthly time-series data on Montana employment, the aut…
The Trade-Off Between Supervision Cost and Performance Based Pay
Railroad Construction and Slave Prices
Railroad Construction and Antebellum Slave Prices
Slave prices rose rapidly to historic highs in the late‐antebellum South. The boom in railroad construction in the South helps explain this large increase in slave prices. The economic connection between railroads and slave prices reconciles the views of traditional economic historians who thought slavery was economically irrational and the views of the new economic historians who have concluded that slavery was highly profitable. It was the mass…
The Effects of High School Athletic Participation on Education and Labor Market Outcomes
We introduce a simple allocation-of-time model to explain the high school athletic participation choice and the implications of this choice for educational and labor market outcomes. Four different factors that could explain athletic participation are identified in the context of this model. A variety of tests of the model are provided using two data sets: the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and the National Longitudinal Study of the High S…
Union-Nonunion Gender Wage and Benefit Differentials across Establishment Sizes
The Wage Effects of Being Raised in the Catholic Religion
This paper provides new empirical evidence about the existence of a Catholic wage premium. A simple allocation-of-time model provides two explanations for the observation that those persons raised in the Catholic religion earn more than their non-Catholic counterparts. The Catholic religion may add to a person's stock of human capital and/or it may act as a signal of desirable labor market characteristics such as discipline, honesty, trustworthin…
High School Athletics and the Wages of Black Males
This article examines the effects of high school athletic participation on the future wages of black males. Our evidence suggests that former black male athletes receive significantly greater wages than their otherwise comparable counterparts. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth was used for the analysis and allows for comparisons of the athlete premium to be made at different points in time. Both the human capital and signaling m…
