The U.S. Economic Crisis And A Revised New Jobs Tax Credit, Timothy J. Bartik Jan 2015

The U.S. Economic Crisis And A Revised New Jobs Tax Credit, Timothy J. Bartik

Timothy J. Bartik

An efficacious economic stimulus to help the U.S. economy recover from its current recession is the revival of the New Jobs Tax Credit. Unlike the original credit utilized by the federal government in 1977– 1978, the new version should be a refundable credit but at a lower current dollar value. My 2001 book, Jobs for the Poor: Can Labor Demand Policies Help? proposed a permanent version f the New Jobs Tax Credit that would be automatically triggered when the unemployment rate is high. My estimates, updated to 2008, suggest that such a revised credit might increase aggregate U.S. employment by …

Identifying Persistent Regional Economic Distress Due To The Great Recession, Timothy Bartik Jan 2015

Identifying Persistent Regional Economic Distress Due To The Great Recession, Timothy Bartik

Timothy J. Bartik

Upjohn Institute researchers will estimate the extent to which recessions have a persistent effect on per capita income in the most severely affected local areas. If persistent effects are identified, the project will explore which indicators will best identify the local areas that suffer from persistently lower per capita income. Prolonged local distress may rationalize federal policy to assist residents in the identified regions, either individually or regionally. Any such federal policy needs reliable indicators of which regions are most likely to suffer persistent economic distress. Empirical work will be done in two stages: 1) estimate the persistent effects on …
