Financial services industries have been an important source of central-city employment, including new jobs. Although decentralization occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, widespread national growth in the sector generally resulted in central-city employment gains. In the 1990s, despite continuing...

The declining federal role in economic development in distressed urban areas and concerns over the problems associated with metropolitan decentralization necessitate increased attention to the intrametropolitan distribution of business development programs. We examine the distribution of...

Due to a scarcity of small-area jobs data, much of the spatial mismatch literature has not directly addressed the impact of nearby jobs on neighbourhood employment rates. Such analysis is particularly needed when considering the probable effects of neighbourhood-targeted economic development....

This paper examines the estimation of the economic costs of hydrologic data collection using the concept of opportunity cost. The opportunity cost of operating a hydrologic data collection network is equal to the maximum value the resources used in its operation would have if they were free to...

The generalized mean value (GMV) function, defined as GN(p)=(ΔN(p))1/p(where ΔN(p) is the absolute value of the moment of the pth order), was used here to differentiate between statistically close random sequences or those sequences containing large numbers of measured points (N⪢1). The...

A means of assessing the relative impact of different renewable energy technologies on global warming has been developed. All power plants emit thermal energy to the atmosphere. Fossil fuel power plants also emit CO2 which accumulates in the atmosphere and provides an indirect increase in global...
