Abstract

Abstract Although controversial, local and state governments draw on broad interpretations of the Fifth Amendment takings clause to justify using eminent domain for economic development. Previous studies examine such uses from the perspective of property rights and the scope and size of government. This paper addresses the fundamental question: Do states that grant local governments liberal eminent domain powers actually enjoy greater economic growth? This paper estimates how liberal eminent domain laws affect private sector employment growth across states while controlling for national trend and industry mix effects. The results clearly show that allowing local governments to use eminent domain for economic development does not lead to more private sector jobs.
利用土地征用权促进经济发展:是否会增加私营部门的就业?
尽管存在争议,但地方和州政府利用对第五修正案征收条款的广泛解释来证明使用征用权用于经济发展是合理的。以前的研究是从产权和政府的范围和规模的角度来考察这种用途的。本文解决了一个基本问题:授予地方政府自由征用权的国家是否真的享有更大的经济增长?本文估计了自由征用权法在控制国家趋势和行业组合效应的情况下如何影响各州私营部门的就业增长。研究结果清楚地表明,允许地方政府利用土地征用权进行经济发展并不会带来更多的私营部门就业机会。
