COUNTYWIDE EMPLOYMENT AND POPULATION GROWTH: AN ANALYSIS OF THE 1980s*
研究了1981-1989年美国县域层面人口与就业增长的互动关系，发现两者增长同步但反馈效应不强，对区域政策制定者评估地方发展有参考价值。
"Regional scientists remain interested in studying interregional differences in the growth rates of population and employment. Following the earlier work of Carlino and Mills, this paper examines growth trends at the county level in the U.S. during the period 1981-1989. Five major sectors of employment are examined. A partial adjustment model is developed that captures intercounty differences in amenities, business and fiscal conditions, demography, employment structure, and relative location. Some evidence is given that population and employment growth was simultaneous, although feedback effects apparently were not strong."
