These are the questions that researchers at the community development departments of the Federal Reserve Banks of Philadelphia and Atlanta answer in newly completed research.

Working Paper
A New Perspective on the Finance-Development Nexus
Quintin, Erwan; Corbae, Dean; Amaral, Pedro S. (2016-12-02)
The existing literature on financial development focuses mostly on the causal impact of the quantity of financial intermediation on economic development. This paper, instead, focuses on the role of the financial sector in creating securities that cater to the needs of heterogeneous investors. To that end, we describe a dynamic extension of Allen and Gale (1989)?s optimal security design model in which producers can tranche the stochastic cash flows they generate at a cost. Lower tranching costs in that environment lead to capital deepening and raise aggregate output. The implications of lower ...

Financial Engineering and Economic Development
Quintin, Erwan; Corbae, Dean; Amaral, Pedro S. (2017-06-13)
The vast literature on financial development focuses mostly on the causal impact of the quantity of financial intermediation on economic development and productivity. This paper, instead, focuses on the role of the financial sector in creating securities that cater to the needs of heterogeneous investors. We describe a dynamic extension of Allen and Gale (1989)?s optimal security design model in which producers can tranche the stochastic cash flows they generate at a cost. Lowering security creation costs in that environment leads to more financial investment, but it has ambiguous effects on ...

Investing in Healthy Rural Communities – Lessons Learned and Future Directions
Kuehl, Steven; Handrick, Lexi; Peissig, Kayla Brenner; Timberlake, Karen (2016)
The Federal Reserve System and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) created the Healthy Communities Initiative to enrich the debate on how cross-sector and place-based approaches might revitalize neighborhoods and communities, while improving health and well-being for residents. A large body of research and evidence demonstrates inextricable linkages between economic success and physical and mental well-being. People who live in economically challenged areas endure more stress, are more likely to report their own physical and mental health as being just ?fair? or ?poor,? are more prone ...

Mapping Our Community: Philanthropic Grant Funding for Community and Economic Development in the Third District
DeMaria, Kyle (2016-10)
Along with public sources of funding, philanthropic capital can be a critical source of support for the community and economic development (CED) work of nonprofit organizations. Research by the Federal Reserve Banks of Philadelphia and Atlanta examined CED grants disbursed to recipients in U.S. metro areas between 2008 and 2013, and identified characteristics that help to explain the ability of certain metro areas to attract more philanthropic funding than others. The authors examined grants for more traditional CED projects (e.g., housing rehabilitation, urban development, financial ...

Anchor Institution Strategies in the Southeast: Working with Hospitals and Universities to Support Inclusive Growth
Fazili, Sameera (2019-12-01)
