Review Of Applied Urban Research 1978, Vol. 06, No. 03, Center For Public Affairs Research (Cpar)

Publications

This issue of Review of Applied Urban Research features "Economic Indicators for the Midcontinent Metropolitan Areas, 1977."

Socio-economic data have long been important planning tools for policy makers, businessmen and investors. Since 1973, the Center for Applied Urban Research, with the cooperation of the Economic Development Council of the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, has compiled and published quarterly data to assist readers in assessing the economic vitality of the Omaha area. In 1975, these quarterly indicators were expanded to include 25 metropolitan areas located in the eleven-state Midcontinent Region. Another revision occurred in 1977 when the Omaha subareas were …

Government Regulation And Small Business, Testimony Prepared For The U.S. House Of Representatives Committee On Small Business, Murray L. Weidenbaum Mar 1978

Government Regulation And Small Business, Testimony Prepared For The U.S. House Of Representatives Committee On Small Business, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

This testimony presents four major points regarding H.R. 7739 "Small Business Impact Statement Act of 1977" and H.R. 10632 "Small Business Regulatory Relief Act." First, there is concern that regulation hits smaller business disproportionately hard. Second, requiring a regulatory impact statement is a good one, as it helps government understand the effects of its actions. Third, the amount of paperwork required by specific impact statements is concerning. Finally, public policy would be better served by requiring a single comprehensive impact statement prior to the issuance of each new regulation.


The Taxpayer And Government Regulation, Robert Defina, Murray L. Weidenbaum Mar 1978

The Taxpayer And Government Regulation, Robert Defina, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

Government regulation of business continues to be one of the fastest growing areas of the American economy. The bulk of the growing regulatory budget is devoted to newer areas of social regulation, such as job safety, energy and the environment, and consumer safety and health. Unlike the traditional regulating commissions, the agencies engaging in this type of regulation often have jurisdiction over virtually all companies, including many sectors of the economy which are generally not thought of as being regulated.

This issue of Review of Applied Urban Research features "New Single-Family Houses Constructed in Douglas and Sarpy Counties During 1977," by Jack Ruff and Linda Ferring.

Home building has been called one of the brightest spots in the nation's economy in 1977, as construction increased 29 percent since 1976.1 Building permits issued in 1977 for residential units in Douglas and Sarpy counties indicate a 15 percent rise from 1976. The past year was the second year of increase in total permit units after the recessionary slump in construction activity early in the decade. Single-family housing permits have increased for three …

Attitudes Toward Proposed Changes At Mercy High School, Paul S. T. Lee

Publications

As in similar schools in cities throughout the nation, Omaha's Mercy High School has been confronted with enrollment declines during the past decade, with the city expanding toward the west and as educational preferences of Omaha Catholic families change. The Board of Directors was asked to consider four alternatives for changing the basic program of Mercy High School in order to reverse this trend. The Center for Applied Urban Research was then asked to assist the Board in assessing which of the alternatives would have the greatest potential for maintaining Mercy's educational excellence.

The Effects Of Energy Conservation On Politics, Employment And Inflation, B. M. Worrall Jan 1978

The Effects Of Energy Conservation On Politics, Employment And Inflation, B. M. Worrall

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

The main tenet of this paper is that up to this time there has in fact been little incentive for consumers to conserve energy. An analysis of the three main types of energy user (industry, transportation and residential) and the ways in which energy may be conserved will show that the political action and legislation necessary for conservation would fail in our democratic society. It will be illustrated that a sudden decrease in energy consumption will cause any or all of the following to occur:- government revenues will fall, unemployment increase, companies go bankrupt, and an increase in prices. The …
