The 1987 stock market crash and New York City employment: an intervention-multiplier analysis
Article Abstract:
A multiplier-analysis model was used to develop a time series model that would describe and predict the consequences of the New York City stock market crash in 1987. Results show that a pervasive change in the structure of New York City's securities industry has resulted. The loss of 24,900 jobs and indications of a further 90,000 projected decline demonstrates the effect industry adjustments on a national or international scale can affecct local governments.

A robust approach to predicting fluctuations in state-level employment growth
Article Abstract:
A forecasting technique based on an autoregressive leading indicators model has been used to form robust composite forecasts of the direction of motion in a series of state-level employment data. The approach was assumed to eliminate forecast errors caused by changing economic conditions. Application of the technique to a data set of Georgia employment figures showed that it is an effective method for forecasting state-level employment.

The effects of taxes, expenditures, and public infrastructure on metropolitan area employment
Article Abstract:
Analyses of data from 28 metropolitan areas show that a city government's tax programs and its education and public infrastructure expenditures do not have any significant effect on its industrial composition. However, it is observed that taxes have a negative impact on total employment while education spending promotes total employment.
