“…Dummy variable treatment will follow the method outlined in Gracia-Diez (1989) and Suits (1984). To illustrate this method, suppose that the level of export activity is hypothesized to be a function only of establishment type and number of full time employees.…”

This article provides a comparative analysis of factors influencing the out-of-state export decisions of establishments within selected groups of servicesproducing and manufacturing industries. Data were gathered through a mail survey of establishments located in both rural and urban areas of five Midwestern states. The proportion of sales exported was specified as a function of establishment and location characteristics and estimated using Tobit analysis. Results of the study indicate that both establishment and location characteristics are important predictors of the export decision and confirm that establishments in some services-producing industries are able to enter and compete in out-of-state export markets. Similar factors were found to influence the export decisions of services-producing and manufacturing establishments. Results suggest that services-producing establishments in the group of industries may not be footloose with respect to locational choices.

Since the early 1970s, it was argued that shifts from relatively smaller to larger youth cohorts in the labor force raise the unemployment rate. In contrast, using US state-level data, two studies come to a contrary conclusion. I provide a theoretical framework for local labor markets that considers age cohort differences in labor market characteristics. Using a spatial panel data model and US county-level data (2000-2014), the estimates provide strong evidence that aging of the working-age population reduces overall unemployment by almost 1 percentage point. Long-run effects that consider local feedbacks are even larger.
