Abstract

Researchers investigating causal estimates of economic development programs face many challenges. This commentary highlights three challenges for future researchers to consider. Specifically, the author discusses how important it is to examine distributional changes and not just mean effects. Additionally, the merits of determining migration effects when studying economic development programs to better understand if original residents benefit from the program are discussed. Finally, the author questions how the pandemic will affect economic development research, particularly relating to how labor markets are defined.

期刊介绍： Economic development—jobs, income, and community prosperity—is a continuing challenge to modern society. To meet this challenge, economic developers must use imagination and common sense, coupled with the tools of public and private finance, politics, planning, micro- and macroeconomics, engineering, and real estate. In short, the art of economic development must be supported by the science of research. And only one journal—Economic Development Quarterly: The Journal of American Economic Revitalization (EDQ)—effectively bridges the gap between academics, policy makers, and practitioners and links the various economic development communities.
