Mohr, Robert D.; Halstead, John; Deller, Steven (2008)

Do scenic amenities foster economic growth in rural areas?
Henderson, Jason; McDaniel, Kendall (1998-01)
Rural areas in the Tenth District are experiencing a period of renewed economic growth in the 1990s.

Working Paper
Amenities, local conditions and fiscal determinants of factor growth in rural America
Weiler, Stephan; Thompson, Eric C.; Hammond, George (2006)
This paper examines how amenities, asset indicators, and fiscal factors influence the growth in factors of production from 1972 to 1999 in the 466 non-metropolitan labor market areas in the continental United States. In developing our model of non-metropolitan factor markets, we combine the emphasis of Brown et al.

(2001) on the importance of climate and natural features on localized population growth. We develop our own measure of capital stock in non-metropolitan ...

It offers some evidence that the relationship between traditional measures of market concentration and bank performance may be changing, which may have implications for the application of antitrust policy in markets of this type.
