Local Academic Knowledge Spillovers And The Concentration Of Economic Activity, Attila Varga Jan 1998

Local Academic Knowledge Spillovers And The Concentration Of Economic Activity, Attila Varga

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

Agglomeration effects on the intensity of local knowledge spillovers from universities to high technology innovations are examined within the modified Griliches-Jaffe knowledge production function framework. Estimations are carried out at the level of US metropolitan areas. Concentration of high technology employment turns out to be the most important factor promoting local academic knowledge spillovers. It is found that a “critical mass” of agglomeration needs to be reached in order to expect substantial local economic effects of academic research spending.


Expressions Of Discontent In America: Regional And Temporal Aspects Of Third Party Governors And Gubernatorial Candidates, 1866-1996, Shannon Jones Jan 1998

Expressions Of Discontent In America: Regional And Temporal Aspects Of Third Party Governors And Gubernatorial Candidates, 1866-1996, Shannon Jones

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

Democrats and Republicans traditionally dominate elections in America. The main goal of this project lies in determining if support for third parties exists and if certain third party support patterns exist within the United States. This project examines gubernatorial elections beginning with 1866 and continuing through 1996. This research does demonstrate that third party support has definite patterns and characteristics. Certain third parties rise up and exist for definite periods of time. Eventually they lose their support or their cause loses its salience. However, it remains one huge cycle: prevalent parties appear, and then disappear, making way for other parties …


Federal Spending And Economic Growth In Appalachian Counties, F Carson Mencken Jan 1998

Federal Spending And Economic Growth In Appalachian Counties, F Carson Mencken

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

In this paper I use a model informed by key theories of regional processes, and I test three related hypotheses concerning the effects of different types of federal spending (public investment, defense, salaries/wages) on economic growth in the 399 Appalachian counties during recent business cycles. The analysis incorporates a maximum likelihood estimate spatial lag regression model and shows the federal public investment spending and defense spending exerted net positive effects on per capita income, civilian employment, and private nonfarm employment growth rates between 1983 and 1988. In addition, public investment spending had a positive relationship with percentage of earnings from …


Gendered Livelihood Strategies In Rural South Africa And Appalachia, Ann M. Oberhauser Jan 1998

Gendered Livelihood Strategies In Rural South Africa And Appalachia, Ann M. Oberhauser

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

This paper examines the contextual nature of gendered livelihood strategies through a comparative study of rural women”s producer groups in former homelands of South Africa and Appalachia. This comparative approach situates gendered livelihood strategies in distinct local contexts that are constituted by specific historical dynamics and cultural relations. Producer groups are defined here as cooperatives, networks, and other collective economic activities that generate income for households and are part of community-based economic strategies. The discussion focuses on the link between socio-economic conditions and gendered livelihood strategies and the economic viability of these producer groups as sustainable income-generating activities, especially in …
