abstract: 'Federal and state governments spend well over a billion dollars a year
|
||||
|
||||
on programs that encourage employment development in disadvantaged labor
|
||||
|
||||
markets through the use of subsidies and tax credits. In this paper we
|
||||
|
||||
use an estimation approach that is valid under relatively weak
|
||||
|
||||
assumptions to measure the impact of State Enterprise Zones (ENTZs),
|
||||
|
||||
Federal Empowerment Zones (EMPZs), and Federal Enterprise Community
|
||||
|
||||
(ENTC) programs on local labor markets. We find that all three programs
|
||||
|
||||
have positive, statistically significant, impacts on local labor markets
|
||||
|
||||
in terms of the unemployment rate, the poverty rate, the fraction with
|
||||
|
||||
wage and salary income, and employment. Further, the effects of EMPZ and
|
||||
|
||||
ENTC designation are considerably larger than the impact of ENTZ
|
||||
|
||||
designation. We find that our estimates are robust to allowing for a
|
||||
|
||||
regression to the mean effect. We also find that there are positive, but
|
||||
|
||||
statistically insignificant, spillover effects to neighboring Census
|
||||
|
||||
tracts of each of these programs. Thus our positive estimates of these
|
||||
|
||||
program impacts do not simply represent a transfer from the nearest
|
||||
|
||||
non-treated Census tract to the treated Census tract. Our results are
|
||||
|
||||
noteworthy for several reasons. First, our study is the first to jointly
|
||||
|
||||
look at these three programs, thus allowing policy makers to compare the
|
||||
|
||||
impacts of these programs. Second, our paper, along with a concurrent
|
||||
|
||||
study by Neumark and Kolko (2008), is the first to carry out the
|
||||
|
||||
estimation accounting for overlap between the programs. Third, our
|
||||
|
||||
estimation strategy is valid under weaker assumptions than those made in
|
||||
|
||||
many previous studies; we consider three comparison groups and let the
|
||||
|
||||
data determine the appropriate group. Fourth, in spite of our
|
||||
|
||||
conservative estimation strategy, by looking at national effects with
|
||||
|
||||
disaggregated data, we show that ENTZ designation generally has a
|
||||
|
||||
positive effect on the local labor market, while most previous research
|
||||
|
||||
on ENTZs, much of which used more geographically aggregated data to look
|
||||
|
||||
at state-specific effects, did not find any significant impacts. Fifth,
|
||||
|
||||
we note that there is little or no previous work on ENTCs. Overall, our
|
||||
|
||||
results strongly support the efficacy of these labor market
|
||||
|
||||
interventions. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.'
