Abstract

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.

  1. Wealth of Nations, Book I, chapter 8. effects model, implies lower tax effects and a quicker adjustment to long-run equilibrium. The tax coefficient in the personal income fixed-effects model-the model most similar to the model estimated by Helms-implies a long-run tax elasticity of-4.85. This is similar to the Helms' elasticity when tax revenues are used to increase welfare spending. However, the endogeneity of welfare spending and possible direct effects of welfare spending on business location suggest that this elasticity should not be considered directly comparable to the elasticities estimated in other studies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
