This is Old Dominion University's second annual "State of the Region" Report. While it represents the work of many individuals connected in various ways to the university, the Report does not constitute an "official" viewpoint of the University, or it's president, Dr. Roseann Runte.

This year's Report was produced with the goal of making Hampton Roads an even better place to live. Those who know and love the region of Hampton Roads frequently boast of its numerous strengths and successes, but we do so with the understanding that it would be possible for us to improve the region's performance in …

Black-White Segregation, Discrimination, And Home Ownership, Kelly Derango

Upjohn Institute Working Papers

The effect of discrimination on black-white racial segregation is studied using a confidential supplement of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). Audit studies reveal that the rate of discrimination in rental housing is substantially higher than in owner-occupied housing. Thus, a variable indicating home ownership is used to proxy for the discrimination rate faced by blacks. The fixed-effects estimates of segregation imply that home ownership is associated with a decline in black-white segregation. This effect decreases slightly at higher income levels but increases substantially with the education of the head of household. Evidence is presented that the effect of …

A Cost-Benefit Analysis Of High Capacity Chip Mills In The Southeastern United States, Blair Hutchins

Honors Theses

This study on the costs and benefits of high capacity chip mills located in the southeastern United States stems from a personal interest gained in the subject through my Environmental Science minor. During my courses of study, factors such as philosophy and ecology were brought into discussions both for and against these chip mills. However, there was no economic data presented from either side. This caused me to wonder whether chip mills were, from an economic perspective, a positive or negative industry for this region. The present study will present a compilation of facts and data on the economic analysis …

Towards An Understanding Of Types Of Public-Private Cooperation, Peter V. Schaeffer, Scott Loveridge

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

Governments frequently join forces with private organizations. The focus of this article is on characteristics of sustained cooperative efforts that require a significant commitment of resources over an extended period. The authors observe that cooperators’ expected rewards and risks may influence the form voluntary cooperation will take. This article classifies public-private cooperation into four common forms and provides a conceptual framework for better understanding why cooperators choose a particular form of cooperation.

Part 1: Economic Performance And Per Capita Income: The Inside Story, Regional Studies Institute, Old Dominion University

State of the Region Reports: Hampton Roads

It’s true the region’s per capita income trails national averages, but much of the gap between Hampton Roads and the nation disappears when cost of living differentials are taken into account. Further, the region’s per capita income gap may not be due so much to lagging wage rates, but rather to much lower levels of business income and wealth for Hampton Roads as compared to other regions.

Part 2: Major League Sports Teams: A Pipe Dream?, Regional Studies Institute, Old Dominion University

State of the Region Reports: Hampton Roads

There is remarkably little economic evidence in favor of major league sports franchises, even in cities such as Baltimore. Cities and regions that subsidize major league sports teams nearly always find it a losing proposition. If a region, such as Hampton Roads, attempts to attract a major league sports team, then it should do so for reasons of pride and identification rather than economics.

Part 3: The Decline Of Coal And The Rise Of Deep-Draft Ships: The Future Of The Port, Regional Studies Institute, Old Dominion University

State of the Region Reports: Hampton Roads

Since the early 1990s, the Port has stagnated in terms of the volume of the cargo it handles. This is due almost solely to a decline in bulk cargo (mostly coal). Nonetheless, the Port continues to provide major a economic impetus to the region because it has become much more efficient and competitive over the past decade.

Part 5: Population And Politics: Virginia Legislative Redistricting And The Decline Of Political Power, Regional Studies Institute, Old Dominion University

State of the Region Reports: Hampton Roads

The region’s political power in the Commonwealth has fallen precipitously over the past decade. The recent legislative redistricting process reduced the number of Hampton Roads delegates and sena-tors by about 15 percent, and the region has lost nearly all of its most senior and powerful legislators. We are at a low ebb in terms of political clout in Richmond, but brighter times may be on the horizon.
