The Economic And Social Impacts Of Nimbys, Terance J. Rephann Jan 1997

The Economic And Social Impacts Of Nimbys, Terance J. Rephann

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

This paper examines some of the issues and controversies that arise when facilities with perceived noxious environmental, social, and economic effects (NIMBYs) locate in communites. Five specific categories of NIMBYs are examined, including: (1) interstate highways, (2) large dams, (3) medium and maximum security prisons, (4) commercial nuclear power plants, and (5) gambling casinos.

Who Benefits From State And Local Economic Development Policies?, Timothy J. Bartik Jan 1991

Who Benefits From State And Local Economic Development Policies?, Timothy J. Bartik

Upjohn Press

Bartik reviews evidence on whether state and local policies affect job growth. He then presents empirical data supporting the intentions of such programs, showing that job growth may lead to a number of positive long-term effects including: lower unemployment, higher labor force participation, higher real estate values, and better occupational opportunities. He also shows that the earnings gains to disadvantaged groups outweigh the resulting increased real estate values for property owners, and concludes by saying that regional competition for jobs may actually be a benefit for the nation as a whole.

Natural Resources From The Sea And Soil, Lyle C. Jenness

Chemical Engineering Faculty Scholarship

Resources from the sea available to New England constitute not only a large industry from the standpoint of direct table stock, but also a substantial industry concerned with canning and with processing of by-products. A considerable, though diverse, industry has been developed, based on crops from the soil. Research is in progress, to improve existing products and develop new ones, as it is recognized that the desired accomplishments are largely the result of planned long-range research.
