Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
This paper empirically assesses the incidence and efficiency of
Round I of the federal urban Empowerment Zone (EZ ) program
using confidential microdata from the Decennial Census and the
Longitudinal Business Database. Using rejected and future applicants
to the EZ program as controls, we find that EZ designation
substantially increased employment in zone neighborhoods and
generated wage increases for local workers without corresponding
increases in population or the local cost of living. The results suggest
the efficiency costs of first Round EZs were relatively modest.
