How Do The Effects Of Local Growth On Employment Rates Vary With Initial Labor Market Conditions?, Timothy Bartik Dec 2008

How Do The Effects Of Local Growth On Employment Rates Vary With Initial Labor Market Conditions?, Timothy Bartik

Timothy J. Bartik

This paper examines how the effects of increased employment growth on a metropolitan area's employment to population ratio varies with the initial tightness of the metropolitan area's labor market. This examination is relevant to evaluating the benefits of local economic development policies in different metropolitan areas. Much of the benefits of such policies are in higher employment rates.

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

Timothy J. Bartik

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.
