The role of colleges and universities in building local human capital
Deitz, Richard; Abel, Jaison R. (2011-10)
Colleges and universities can contribute to the economic success of a region by deepening the skills and knowledge?or human capital?of its residents. Producing graduates who join the region?s educated workforce is one way these institutions increase human capital levels. In addition, the knowledge and technologies created through research activities at area universities may not only attract new firms to a region but also help existing businesses expand and innovate. These ?spillover effects? can in turn raise the region?s demand for high-skilled workers.

Regional economic conditions and the FOMC votes of district presidents
Tootell, Geoffrey M. B. (1991-03)
It is often argued that the institutional structure of the Federal Reserve System influences the formulation and attainment of national monetary policy goals.

Changes in the structure of wages: a regional comparison
Vilches, Ramon (1991-07)
This article sets out to examine changes in the structure of mens wages in the 1980s, on a regional basis.

Eisner, Robert (1991-09)
