Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We study the local effects of a federal program that helped cities clear
areas for redevelopment, rehabilitate structures, complete city plans,
and enforce building codes. We use an instrumental variable strategy
to estimate the program's effects on city-level measures of income,
property values, employment and poverty rates, and population. The
estimated effects on income, property values, and population are positive and economically significant. They are not driven by changes
in demographic composition. Estimated effects on poverty reduction
and employment are positive but imprecise. The results are consistent
with a model in which local productivity is enhanced. (JEL I32, N32,
