The authors then examine the sources of data that are available – public and private – for tracking the success or failure of such businesses. A BIPOC business database was constructed from a variety of sources and used by the authors to examine the potential pitfalls of such exercises. The authors close with a call for better data collection on BIPOC businesses.","PeriodicalId":47367,"journal":{"name":"Economic Development Quarterly","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134957890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the United States, registered apprenticeship (RA)—a structured form of apprenticeship that is regulated and overseen by government agencies—has been expanding from skilled trades into new industries. To inform this expansion and contribute to the understanding of how the model serves apprentices and employers, the author undertook a systematic literature review and a qualitative synthesis of empirical research, interpreting findings on RA over a 30-year period. The review identified 36 scholarly studies and an additional 98 articles from the practitioner literature. The synthesis derived three themes: expansion, benefits, and outcomes for minoritized groups, revealing gaps in research on the curricular and instructional design elements of RA that promote retention, completion, career advancement, and learning for apprentices.","PeriodicalId":47367,"journal":{"name":"Economic Development Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49472162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using U.S. Census Bureau data from 1980 through 2019, the authors show how under-resourced communities have evolved in U.S. metropolitan areas. The share of metropolitan residents who reside in under-resourced communities has steadily grown over time. This upward trend cannot be explained by changes in residents’ economic or demographic characteristics. Yet areas experiencing declining economic conditions, aging populations, and rapid ethnoracial change have had the largest increases. Although under-resourced communities continue to be concentrated in central cities, their incidence in suburban areas has nearly doubled since 1980. Under-resourced communities are becoming more racially diverse, not just because of broader ethnoracial change, but because shrinking shares of Blacks and expanding shares of Whites and Hispanics/Latinos reside in these areas. However, Black residents continue to make up a large share of under-resourced community residents. The broader implications of these patterns are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":47367,"journal":{"name":"Economic Development Quarterly","volume":"37 1","pages":"302 - 327"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48395859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Past research suggests that publicly funded incumbent worker training programs are a promising antidote against market failures. With only a handful of studies published in the last two decades, however, this is one of the least-researched types of business support programs. This paper examines the impact of a state program in California that uses a pay-for-performance approach to reimburse employers that train their employees: the California Employment Training Panel (ETP). Based on a mixed-methods study of ETP, the authors found that, overall, ETP had positive and significant impacts on company sales and firm size. The study suggests the need to abandon ideological debates and engage in more evidence-based policy discussions about incumbent worker training programs.","PeriodicalId":47367,"journal":{"name":"Economic Development Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42141142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The August 2023 issue focused on the impact of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). This issue of the journal presents research focused on under-resourced communities; the diffusion of the U.S. manufacturing workforce; economic segregation and inequality on economic performance in metro areas; models of equity and inclusion for daylabor workers; and middle-wage U.S. occupations. In 2019, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, The Initiative for a Competitive Inner City, and the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research partnered to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms and contexts that promote inclusive economic growth and development. Inclusive economic development policies promote equitable, participatory, and sustainable growth and opportunities for all populations. They are focused on reducing economic, financial, physical, and social barriers facing vulnerable populations. Each institution has a long-standing interest in equitable growth, and the time was right as the economy flourished— therewas a tight labormarket, and innovation became necessary to attract and retain both businesses and workers. We set out plans to host a themed conference in Boston and produce a related issue in this journal. Before we released a call for papers, however, the Covid-19 pandemic struck and a whole new context emerged: one that underscored the importance of equity as the economy recovers. The August and November issues of Economic Development Quarterly pivot to the current context by thinking about the current environment in at least three important ways: (1) how we determine which places are most in need of economic development approaches, (2) what new ways of initiating economic development may be fruitful, and (3) how were government efforts aligned with equitable economic development during the pandemic. Taken together, the papers in this special issue providemixed evidenceonwhether economicdevelopment in theUnitedStates has become more or less inclusive over time, especially during the pandemic. Matthew Hall, Howard Wial, and Devon Yee paint a pessimistic picture of the long-term trend in concentrated poverty within metropolitan areas, documenting the increase in the incidence of under-resourced communities over the last four decades. The Richard Florida-Todd Gabe and Nik Theodore papers, while illustrating negative features of current regional economic development and labor market patterns, also point toward institutional innovations that could make economic and workforce development more inclusive. Collectively, the papers in this issue provide important insights into the challenges of designing and implementing policies that can effectively address the needs of small businesses in times of crisis.

As the economy continues its recovery from the pandemic, it is important to reflect on what the pandemic revealed about existing inequities in regional economies. The August and November special issues examine both the pre-pandemic conditions facing underserved populations and the impact of pandemic-related public policies on economic inclusiveness. This issue explores the impact of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was the largest economic development initiative since the Great Depression. Overall, the papers in this issue suggest that many policy-influenced disparities of the past were initially carried through to the pandemic. However, at the same time, they highlight deliberate alterations to the PPP in its final round that improved inclusivity. Congress authorized the PPP during the early stages of the pandemic as business activity fell precipitously. All told, the program disbursed nearly $800 billion to nearly 9 million businesses across three rounds of funding between April 2020 and April 2021 (Lester & Wilson, 2023). Congress intended for the program to provide emergency economic relief to small businesses and help them keep employees on their payroll by offering forgivable loans administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA). The issue of inclusiveness became immediately relevant because the pandemic-induced recession led to disparities, with disproportionate negative impacts on minorityand female-owned businesses. Business activity in the first few months of the pandemic fell 41% among Blac","PeriodicalId":47367,"journal":{"name":"Economic Development Quarterly","volume":"37 1","pages":"207 - 210"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45227734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, Hawai‘i's economic growth has diminished for decades as the dominance of tourism has not generated productivity growth. In response, policy makers in Hawai‘i increasingly emphasize diversification. This article examines a spatial economics perspective to explain why Hawai‘i is so specialized, and to sketch policy for diversification and growth. Isolated, small, and open economies tend to be more specialized in one or a few industries because increasing returns to scale generates a coordination problem for new industries. By targeting industries that use related know-how, or a Hawai‘i-specific resource, Hawai‘i can access productivity gains from the scale of related and location -bound industries.","PeriodicalId":47367,"journal":{"name":"Economic Development Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44097046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
