The short-run and long-run factor-market consequences of immigration to the United States
Article Abstract:
The production-theory approach was used to study the domestic wages and employment of US immigrants. A greatly expanded and updated sample was used to re-examine how recent immigrants affect US aggregate production. Focus was on concavity requirements and emphasis was placed on differences between Hicksian elasticities of complementarity and Allen-Uzawa elasticities of substitution. Results show that immigration does not have a significant effect on the employment and income of domestic workers.

The hinterland's stake in metropolitan growth: evidence from selected Southern regions
Article Abstract:
Urban decentralization has resulted in increased growth for rural-area population and employment. The study points out that there is a backwash and spillover from functional economic areas to rural areas. The study extends the Carlino and Mills and Boarnet models of local development to test for economic linkages between rural and urban areas.
