Community banks: what is their future and why does it matter?
Newberger, Robin G.; DeYoung, Robert (2005-03)

Capital-raising among minority-owned banks before and after the financial crisis
Newberger, Robin G. (2018)
The financial crisis and recession of 2008-2010 made the availability of capital a significant area of concern for community banks, and led many of these institutions to seek out sources to rebuild their equity.1 The need for capital may have been even greater for some minority-owned financial institutions.

Education and the Evolution of Earnings Across Population Groups Since 2000
Walstrum, Thomas; http://fedora:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/authors/ (2019)
By nearly all macroeconomic measures, the US economy is in good shape: unemployment is low, jobs growth is steady, inflation is stable, and GDP has expanded uninterrupted for 10 years?the longest expansion in US history. The good news from the aggregate data means that most people are in the best economic position they have been in for some time. But by definition, aggregate data cannot tell us whether an overall good economy is benefitting some population groups more than others. This article disaggregates the good news in the macrodata by tracking the fortunes of a variety of population ...

Riggs, T. Lynn; Newberger, Robin G. (2006-04)
The location of bank branches is an important issue for consumer advocates and other groups that monitor access to financial services for low- and moderate income people.

The ability of people to choose from an array of financial products, especially those offered through the banking system, is fundamentally related to the economic well-being of a community.

From pathways to policy: an overview of green collar jobs advocacy
DiFranco, Daniel (2009-09)
The term "Green Collar Job" for many of those who use it, represents more than a label describing environmentally friendly occupations. In particular, the expression tends to evoke a hopeful vision of economic development that combines inclusive prosperity and environmental stewardship in complementary ways.

Others have even wondered whether the phrase is anything more than a "trendy term for politicians and others to bandy about."
