Sum m ary. A m enities are regar ded as increasi ngly im porta nt to the locatio n decisio ns of certai n types of ® rm . Y et they are ofte n ignored in economic develo pm ent researc h because of the assumption that they attrac t only w orkers, and that this w orkforce, in turn, attract s ® rm s. This paper argues for a reduced form m odel of the im pact of am enities on corporat e locatio n. W hen testing such a m odel at the intra-metropolita n scale , it w ill be necessar y to m easure am enities not only at the potential worksite, but also w here em ployee s are likely to live . This paper tests such a ® rm locatio n m odel using a sam ple of m unicipalities in northern New Jersey . R esults support the hypothesis that ® rm s evaluate certai n am enities with respect to the likely residential locatio ns of their em ployees .

U.S. Economic Growth vs. Environmental Conditions

1996

A widely‐held belief is that stricter environmental regulations stifle economic growth. To determine empirically the effect of environmental conditions and policies on state‐level per capita income growth, a Barro‐type economic growth model was estimated for the years 1982 to 1991, which correspond to two consecutive troughs in the business cycle. States with better environmental conditions had significantly higher income growth rates during this period. At the same time, stricter environmental policies did not significantly depress income growth. Data used include recently developed, consistent measures of environmental policy and quality for individual states, as well as data from the 1980 U.S. Census and Bureau of Economic Analysis.
