Selling Nebraska's Water: Water Sales, Transfers And Exports, J. David Aiken Jan 1988

Selling Nebraska's Water: Water Sales, Transfers And Exports, J. David Aiken

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

Historically, western states have been free to prohibit water exports, and most states have done so. This changed abruptly in 1982, when the U.S. Supreme Court in its Sporhase decision invalidated Nebraska's groundwater export statute. After Sporhase, states could no longer simply prohibit the export of water, so the likelihood that water could be purchased or appropriated for export increased. In 1987 legislation was introduced to aggressively seek interstate buyers for Nebraska water. In the face of stormy opposition, the legislation was successfully recast as a study of water exports and transfers. The water exports study, however, contained the …


Prison Overcrowding In Nebraska: The Feasibility Of Intensive Supervision Probation, Dennis Hoffman, Vincent J. Webb Jan 1988

Prison Overcrowding In Nebraska: The Feasibility Of Intensive Supervision Probation, Dennis Hoffman, Vincent J. Webb

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

This chapter analyzes the magnitude and causes of Nebraska's prison overcrowding problem. Nebraska's response to this problem has been to expand prison capacity and to implement programs to decrease length of stay. Another policy option - reducing prison admissions through intensive supervision probation - is examined in this chapter. Data from Nebraska Parole Board files indicate there is a category of current prison inmates that are not sufficiently dangerous to require imprisonment. Many of these nonviolent offenders with marginal criminal histories could be diverted into intensive probation programs that are more cost·effective than incarceration.


The Importance Of Interstate Highways To Economic Development In Nebraska, David M. Ambrose, Louis G. Pol Jan 1988

The Importance Of Interstate Highways To Economic Development In Nebraska, David M. Ambrose, Louis G. Pol

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

This chapter focuses on one aspect of economic growth: the post-construction effect of interstate highways on income and sales expansion. Using data for all Nebraska and Iowa counties, interstate highways are found to have the most positive economic impact on areas with larger populations; small areas are not likely to experience much more than short-term gains. This finding has significant implications for the planned construction of a north-south, four-lane highway in Nebraska. The route of such a highway should be selected only after a careful look at the ability of local areas to capitalize on highway-induced growth impulses.


Rural-Urban Linkages: An Assessment Of State Government Revenue And Expenditure Patterns, Jerome A. Deichert Jan 1988

Rural-Urban Linkages: An Assessment Of State Government Revenue And Expenditure Patterns, Jerome A. Deichert

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

Taxing and spending decisions made by Nebraska's policy makers have different impacts on Nebraska's metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties, even though these impacts may be unintended. Furthermore, Nebraska's counties are linked through the operation of state government. Through their fiscal actions policy makers can strengthen these links or cause them to deteriorate. Policy makers should begin to incorporate the geographic dimensions of their decisions into their decision making processes, especially as they are faced with issues concerning property tax relief and rural development. A data set describing the geographic distribution of Nebraska state government taxes and expenditures is offered here for …

Nebraska Policy Choices (1988): Preface, Russell L. Smith

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

The six chapters in Nebraska Policy Choices: 1988 contain the work of eight faculty from the University of Nebraska's Omaha and Lincoln campuses. These faculty, like the twenty-five faculty who wrote chapters for the previous two annual volumes, are some of the leading experts in Nebraska in their respective areas of interest.


Child Day Care Policy Issues In Nebraska, Christine M. Reed Jan 1988

Child Day Care Policy Issues In Nebraska, Christine M. Reed

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

This chapter looks at the Nebraska child day care market. A review of the day care arrangements made by working parents for their preschoolers indicates that the majority use home day care - in the home of a relative, friend, neighbor, or family day care home proprietor. This predominance, together with evidence that sixty percent of all day care is informal, unregulated care, suggests three policy strategies for improving the quality of home day care in Nebraska: strengthening and expanding family day care rules; subsidizing quality home day care for the working poor; and expanding specialized training for home day …


Appendix A- Nebraska State Government Revenue And Expenditure Pattern Data Set, Excluding Lancaster County, 1985 Jan 1988

Appendix A- Nebraska State Government Revenue And Expenditure Pattern Data Set, Excluding Lancaster County, 1985

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

Because of the major presence of state government activities in the Lincoln area, it is useful to look at tax and expenditure information for the rest of the state alone. The tables in this appendix are similar to tables 2 and 3 in the chapter text, except for the deletion of Lancaster County.


Farm Income And Government Payments To Agriculture In Nebraska, James R. Schmidt Jan 1988

Farm Income And Government Payments To Agriculture In Nebraska, James R. Schmidt

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

Farm income in Nebraska reached a record level of $2,117 million in 1987, of which $1,275 million (or sixty percent) was received in the form of direct government payments. This chapter traces the recent history of farm income and direct government payments and describes the elements of the farm program that have had significant influence upon the Nebraska economy. The sensitivity of the Nebraska economy to movements in the farm sector is analyzed. Results from an econometric simulation analysis indicate that relatively strong multiplier effects occur in the state economy as a result of movements in farm income.

State Of Black Omaha, 1988: Employment And Economic Development, Center For Public Affairs Research (Cpar)

Publications

Income, employment and growth are vital to the economic development of any community, and Omaha's Black community is no exception.

Omaha Metropolitan Statistical Area Input-Output Tables And Multipliers: A User's Manual -- A Guide For Identifying And Assessing The Effects Of Business Changes On The Omaha Economy, W. J. Corcoran

Publications

The impact of a new convention center or a new firm entering or leaving a region requires the use of multipliers to estimate the full economic effect. Multipliers account for the interactions from industries to industries and from industries to households and back, and are produced easily from input-output studies.


Economic Impact Of The Nebraska School For The Deaf, Center For Public Affairs Research (Cpar) Jan 1988

Economic Impact Of The Nebraska School For The Deaf, Center For Public Affairs Research (Cpar)

Publications

Researchers from the Center for Applied Urban Research examined the economic impact of the Nebraska School for the Deaf (NSD) on the Omaha area and the state. The impact of the NSD reaches far beyond its primary function of providing educational opportunities for deaf children in Nebraska, therefore, measuring its value is difficult.
