Abstract: In this paper the standard theory of the derived demand for inputs for the firm has been used to examine the effect on employment of a subsidy to the capital input via an industrial revenue bond. While the effect theoretically is ambiguous in sign, an empirical examination of the industrial revenue bond program in Chicago suggests that, ceteris paribus, employment does increase in firms selected for the program. The estimates of the arc crosselasticity of demand for labor for the groups of firms that participated in the Chicago program range from −.27 to −1.07. Systematic variations in the cross elasticity of demand for labor are found.

Abstract: Housing segregation directly affects the employment opportunities for blacks by reducing access to jobs. In addition, an indirect effect exists if, holding other factors constant, employers tend to hire workers who reflect the racial composition of the surrounding area. This tendency implies that a change in the distribution of black residences (with an offsetting change in the distribution in white residences) will have an impact on the spatial distribution of employment opportunities for blacks who donot move. Empirical evidence is presented for both the direct and indirect effects for the Chicago SMSA in 1970 using the Journey to Work data from the Census.

Abstract: This paper is a comparison of two contrasting methods for projecting population at the regional and state levels. A projection of the U.S. Bureau of the Census employs standard demographic methods, while the population projection by Data Resources, Inc., is based on economic opportunity. The methodological differences between these two projections are discussed, and the projections for the year 2000 are compared. While both projections use the same national control total for population in the year 2000, some of the regional and state projections are very different. The U.S. Bureau of the Census projects population decline in the Northeast and rapid growth in the West while Data Resources, Inc., projects some population growth in the Northeast and less rapid growth in the West.
