  • The Rights/Development Nexus

    Open AccessDavid W RasmussenARTICLESocial Science Quarterly2019References: 18

    Objective This article explores how economic development facilitates the creation of interest groups that seek to improve their “capabilities” that, as Amartya Sen has explained, can enhance human freedom. Mancur Olson's work shows that long periods of political stability can foster “distributive coalitions” that benefit small interest groups at the expense of the nation. Method In this context, the fat acceptance movement is analyzed. Oriented t…

A GIS progamme is used to develop neighbourhood characteristics that are unique to each observation, thereby allowing the evaluation of the impact of neighbourhood attributes in proximity to the dwelling. Except for population density, the effects of neighbourhood characteristics on property values do no…

  • The Role of State Economic Development Programs in National Industry Policy

    Open AccessDavid W Rasmussen, Larry C LedeburARTICLEReview of Policy Research1983Cited by: 1References: 6

    A decade of economic stagnation has produced a plethora of calls for government action to stimulate economic growth in employment. Arguing that activists federal industry policy is likely not to emerge in the United States, Rasmussen and Ledebur examine the potential role of states in a "federalist industry policy." States presently administer effective programs of financial assistance to business enterprises. These efforts are "rationally paroch…

  • The Changing Status of Economic Minorities, 1948–1977

    Open AccessMickey L Burnim, David W RasmussenARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…1982Cited by: 1References: 2

    Our results indicate that the median income of economic minorities relative to that of whites does not adequately represent the entire income distribution. Among black males, for example, only the lower half of the income distribution experiences a significant change in relative income over the business cycle. The secular trend shows similar variation. Black men at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles experienced significant gains relative to whi…

  • Income Inequality and City Size

    James E Long, David W Rasmussen et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…1977

    The distribution of income in the urban context has received relatively little attention from economists. Limited information has been employed to assert an inverse relationship between city size and income inequality (Duncan and Reiss, 1956; Richardson, 1973). This relationship can be rationalized by the fact that both city size and inequality are related to the level of income. Kuznets (1955) hypothesized a negative relationship between income …
