THE MISSION

he DeVoe L. Moore Center at Florida State University is an interdisciplinary unit in T the College of Social Sciences dedicated to increasing knowledge and public understanding about the role of government in a market economy. The Center emphasizes the study of how government rules, regulations, and programs affect the economy and individuals. Bringing the insights of economics, political science, geography and public administration to the study of state and local regulations is a major focus of the Center’s efforts.

FROM THE DIRECTOR

Keith R. Ihlanfeldt

his past year represents the ninth year that the DeVoe L. Moore Center has existed. TSince its inception, hundreds of students have been touched by the Center’s activities by taking undergraduate and graduate courses taught by Center faculty, attending lectures given by distinguished visiting scholars, and working on Center sponsored research activities. Upper division undergraduates have been engaged in research in class projects, have taken Directed Independent Studies sponsored by Center faculty, and have been employed as Undergraduate Research Assistants. Graduate students enrolled in our workshop on State and Local Regulation have been engaged in research projects primarily in their role as research assistants and as recipients of DeVoe L. Moore Dissertation Fellowships. This report chronicles some new achievements that we accomplished during the past year and provides an overview of what we have planned for the upcoming year.

irtually everything that the DeVoe Center was involved with over the 2007-2008 V academic year had to do with land – how to develop it, how to regulate it, and how to preserve property owners’ freedom to use it. For example, two of the three Critical Issues Symposiums sponsored and hosted by the Center focused on major land use issues currently confronting the state of Florida – public land acquisition and public school sitings. At the first symposium top scholars from across the nation investigated the benefits and costs of the Florida Forever program, which is the largest land acquisition program in the U.S. Overall, we concluded that the program’s benefits exceeded its costs and the conference authors strongly recommended that the program be continued. Florida Forever was extended by the state legislature and approved by the Governor at this year’s legislative session. The symposium on school sitings was also very timely, given that school concurrency was recently added to Florida’s growth management program. The conference participants included both academics from prestigious schools, such as the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Maryland, and Florida policy-makers, who presented papers dealing with all aspects of school sitings, including its effect on traffic congestion, commuting behavior, and, most controversial, urban sprawl. Even a link between school location and global warming was established. Land use was also the focus of an externally funded project that Professor Tim Chapin and I did for the Lincoln Land Institute. This project compared states with and without growth management programs in an attempt to determine whether growth management has had tangible benefits. The project, conducted in concert with other researchers from across the country, investigated growth management’s effects on the environment, transportation options, housing affordability, and urban form. Benefits in these areas were found to exist, but were not found to be large in magnitude. This conclusion is consistent with the Center’s earlier case study of growth management in the state of Florida, which was published in 2007 as a book by Ashgate Press and edited by Professors Chapin, Connerly, and Higgins of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning. The book, entitled Growth Management in Florida: Planning for Paradise, was chosen for the cover story of FSU’s Winter/Spring 2008 issue of Research in Review. This was the second time the Center’s research was highlighted in the Review. Earlier the Review covered our work on development impact fees. L a n d u s e w a s a l s o t h e t opic of three new Policy Briefs published by the Center and was a common theme of the talks given by three distinguished developers that came to campus to speak to the students during Spring semester. Our speaker series, now in its fourth year, is a joint effort between the DeVoe Moore Center and The Business School’s Real Estate Program. Finally, also land use related is a close to one million dollar grant that the Department of Urban and Regional Planning obtained from the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM). One of the objectives of the Center is to provide support to students and faculty who seek external funding related to the Center’s mission. The FDEM funding was based on a pilot project that was funded by the Center in 2004 –

2005, entitled “MPO Partnership Roles in Growth Management, Economic Development, and Environmental Protection”. Regarding the future, there are three big “events” that we are quite excited about. First, Professor Tim Chapin of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning will be joining the Center as a faculty member. Previously Tim was a faculty affiliate of the Center, but he has made such a large footprint on the Center the past few years with his research on Florida’s growth management program that he clearly earned faculty member status. We look forward to working even more closely with Tim now that he is a Center faculty. Second, we have decided to offer Center-sponsored undergraduate courses beginning Fall semester. These courses will focus on land use regulation and will be unique in that they will contain a significant amount of “in the field” experience. The students will have the opportunity to interact with developers, land use attorneys, and urban planners in order to see the regulatory process from different perspectives, both private and public. The courses will be project-based, where students will actually work on a land use problem that needs a solution. To teach these new courses the Center has hired a teaching specialist. I am happy to report that the first person to staff this position is Thomas Mayock, who this past year was a DeVoe Moore Dissertation Fellow. Tom has been studying land use regulation the past two years and is anxious to share with the students what he has learned. Finally, we have three symposiums planned for the upcoming academic year. One will be on intergovernmental cooperation to be organized by Professor Rick Feiock of the Askew School of Public Administration, one will be on the interrelationship between transportation and land use to be organized by Professor Tim Chapin of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, and one will be on the economics of crime to be organized by Professor Bruce Benson of the Department of Economics. The last symposium already has a publisher. The 23 chapters that will be presented at a DeVoe Moore Center Critical Issues Symposium in March of next year will be published as a book titled the Handbook on the Economics of Crime, to be published by Edward Elgar and edited by Professor Benson. Crime has an enormous impact on land use and economic development within urban areas. Hence, it is an ideal topic for a Critical Issues Symposium sponsored by the DeVoe Moore Center.

INSTRUCTION

entral to the DeVoe L. Moore Center's mission is educating our students to have a C greater understanding of the proper role of government in a market economy, stimulating a greater appreciation for the free enterprise system, and improving their understanding of the causes and consequences of state and local government rules and regulations. Courses focusing on these issues have been developed by Center faculty. During the 2007 - 2008 academic year, 500 undergraduate students were enrolled in courses that cover government regulation taught by Center faculty. At the graduate level,

200 students were enrolled in these courses. Other educational opportunities for FSU students include participating in the Center’s Critical Issues Symposium, attending Distinguished Lecture Programs and lectures by visiting scholars. During the past year a number of speakers were brought to campus through these programs to speak on issues related to government regulation. Another educational opportunity provided by the Center to FSU students is that they may take a series of courses that lead to the Center’s Certificate in Political Economy.

Undergraduate Studies

enter faculty and affiliates teach a wide variety of undergraduate courses that focus Con the role of government in a market economy and are closely related to our mission. Among the regularly scheduled undergraduate courses taught by Center faculty and affiliates that are directly related to our mission are the following:

ECO 2000 Introduction to Economics ECO 2013 Principles of Macroeconomics ECO 2023 Principles of Microeconomics ECO 3303 History of Economic Ideas ECO 3933 Economics of Native Americans ECO 4504 Public Sector Economics ECO 4003 Public Policy and the Quality of Life ECO 4554 Economics of State and Local Government ECP 3451 Economics and the Law ECP 4413 Urban Economics POS 3142 Local Government POS 3122 State Politics PUP 3713 Introduction to Public Policy URP 3000 Introduction to Planning and Urban Development

Center faculty have also developed new courses that focus on understanding and analyzing issues related to the impact of state and local regulations on citizens’ freedom, local economic development, environmental quality, and the quality of life. One such course has received special recognition: Bruce Benson’s course, “The Economics of Native Americans”, received the Leavey Award for Excellence in Private Enterprise Education that is made annually by the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge. Bruce’s course presents the important economic ideas and concepts about the absolutely vital role of property rights and free markets for economic growth and progress. It was taught during the spring semester and had 48 students. Another example of a Center faculty member teaching a course especially relevant to the Center’s mission is a course taught by faculty affiliate Tim Chapin of the Urban and Regional Planning Department entitled “Growth Management”. This course provides a detailed overview of growth management principles and practices in the United States. A substantial portion of the course focuses on land use policies and

approaches to Oregon, Maryland, and New Jersey. In this course the genesis of these states’ very comprehensive planning makes them national leaders in growth management policy. Different approaches to managing growth are discussed. In addition, students gain a detailed understanding of the major organizing principles of each approach and how these approaches actually work. The course also provides a detailed overview of the Florida growth management and comprehensive planning approach. The course discusses the role of comprehensive plans in shaping communities, the state’s role in reviewing these plans, and the role of citizens in the planning process. The course also covers concepts key to growth management in Florida, including concurrency, developments of regional impact (DRIs), and state and local land preservation efforts. Recent changes to the state’s growth management system, including changes relating to SB360, also are discussed. Another course that fits well within the Center’s mission is the Economics of State and Local Government, which is taught by Professor Thomas McCaleb of the Economics Department. Tom now teaches this course both face-to-face (46 students in Fall 2007) and via distance learning (25 students in Summer 2007).

Certificate in Political Economy

ndergraduate students can earn the Certificate in Political Economy by satisfactorily U completing the Principles of Economics (two courses) and five other courses in Economics, Political Science, and Public Administration that are closely related to the Center's mission. Students who complete the required set of courses and a Capstone course or work as undergraduate research assistants are awarded the Certificate.

Graduate Training

raduate training is central to the Center's mission in three ways. First, Center faculty G and affiliates teach courses that better prepare graduate students for positions that involve teaching about the proper role of government in a market economy and the consequences of local and state regulation. Second, graduate students serve as assistants on the Center's various research projects on the impacts of government regulation. Third, the students' original research in master's theses and doctoral dissertations directly contributes to our knowledge about the impacts of government regulation and public policies. Among the graduate courses taught by Center faculty are:

ECO 5533 Public Choice ECO 5932 Graduate Tutorial ECO 5936 Neo-Institutional Economics ECO 5936 Applied Microeconomic Theory ECO 5936 Urban and Regional Economics ECO 6938 Political Economy Workshop POS 5045 Urban Politics and Policy

PAD 5275 Political Economy of Public Administration PAD 6108 Institutions, Policy and Governance PAD 6109 Institutions and Society URP 5845 Growth and Development of Cities URP 5716 Transportation and Land Use

In addition to the new undergraduate courses that have been developed by Center faculty, new graduate courses have also been developed. One of these courses is entitled Neo-Institutional Economics and was offered for the first time during 2001-2002 and is now part of the graduate curriculum. Traditional “neoclassical” economics assumes that property rights are clearly defined and enforced and that the costs of coordinating and motivating economic activity (transaction costs) are zero. This course, taught by DeVoe L. Moore Professor Bruce L. Benson, relaxes these assumptions in order to analyze the consequences of both secure property rights and insecure rights since property rights can be easily changed through political or bureaucratic processes. It also explores the impact of institutions (firms, law, bureaucracies, and private organizations) on economic performance.

Workshop in State and Local Regulation

nother graduate course, “Workshop on State and Local Regulation,” was first A introduced in the Fall of 2001. It is offered every Fall semester for students affiliated with the Center and is taught by Center director Keith Ihlanfeldt. Students working on dissertations, graduate assistants, and faculty affiliates make presentations in the workshop about research that is related to the Center's mission. Scholars from other institutions are invited to present their work. The workshop also provides a forum to discuss research proposals that examine issues related to the Center’s mission. Twenty graduate students from Economics, Political Science, Urban and Regional Planning, and Public Administration enrolled in this workshop during the 2007 - 2008 academic year.

Graduate Student Recruitment

he Center has been active in supporting faculty and departments in their efforts to Trecruit graduate students who have an interest in teaching and doing research on issues related to the Center's mission. During the last year we helped recruit several graduate students by facilitating their visits to campus, interviewing them, and telling them about the Center's programs.

Dissertation Fellowships

he DeVoe L. Moore Dissertation Fellowship program plays an important role in Tachieving the Center's mission. By sponsoring dissertation research, we encourage

promising scholars to study the impacts of government intervention with a special emphasis on state and local rules and regulations. When these fellows are employed in academic posts and public policy positions, they can potentially communicate their knowledge about the Center's mission throughout the country. Recent fellows have taken positions within state and federal government and at a number of leading universities. Examples include the University of Iowa, the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing at the University of Florida, the Florida House of Representatives, the U. S. National Institute of Health and the University of Oklahoma.

Distinguished Visiting Professor Program

The Distinguished Visiting Professor Program is designed to bring the nation’s premier scholars doing research related to the Center’s mission to FSU. Faculty and students will have the opportunity to interact with these scholars through public lectures, seminars, classroom lectures and discussions, and through informal meetings. All departments and centers are encouraged to nominate public choice oriented scholars for this program, which is intended to foster interdisciplinary cooperation.

Previous Distinguished Visiting Scholars

Douglass North, the 1996 Nobel Laureate in Economics, visited the Center in April 2002 to give a public lecture entitled "What We Know and Don't Know About Economic Development." Over 130 undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty attended his lecture and over 50 graduate students attended a question and answer session with Professor North.

Douglass North

A highlight of 1999-2000 was Nobel Laureate James Buchanan's visit to campus. Professor Buchanan won the 1986 Nobel Prize for his contributions to the development of public choice economics. During his two-day stay he gave a seminar in the Economics Department, gave a public lecture, met with graduate students, and spoke at a dinner given in his honor.

James Buchanan

Over the two day period of November 8-9, 2004, William Niskanen gave a public lecture, a seminar at the DeVoe Moore Center's Workshop on State and Local Government Regulation, and spoke at a dinner given in his honor. Dr. Niskanen is the chairman of the Cato Institute and served as acting chairman of President Reagan's Council of Economic Advisors. He is considered by many as one of the founding fathers of public choice economics.

William A. Niskanen

Web Based Course Materials

he Center’s Course materials on Local Governance, Rules and Regulation are made Tavailable via a website (http://www.fsu.edu/~localgov). We intend that professors teaching courses in economics, political science, urban and regional planning, and public administration who deal with questions of local governance and regulations will find that these materials are easy to use and that their availability will stimulate increased instruction in this area. This site has four major components to assist instructors: bibliographic references, a collection of case studies, a compendium of recent research, and proposed research topics for students, together with appropriate links to the data archives and other sources available in the Program in Local Governance, Rules and Regulation website. Research projects currently under way will provide other researchers with valuable data with which to investigate the impacts of state and local regulations.

PUBLIC SERVICE AND OUTREACH

Policy Briefs

he Policy Brief Program is an outreach program intended to summarize research Tpapers and provide commentary on issues related to government rules and regulations. Briefs are circulated to public officials throughout the state, all legislators, and all other interested persons. They can also be downloaded from the Center’s website at http://www.fsu.edu/~policy/research/publications.html#policy_briefs.

Program in Local Governance, Rules, and Regulation

he purpose of the Program in Local Governance, Rules, & Regulations is to further T the study of local government and governance and to advance knowledge of governance in general and the role of regulation in particular. The Program website (http://www.fsu.edu/~localgov) provides a guide to Internet resources and links on local government, a national data archive, a Florida data archive, research papers to distribute new research related to our mission, and information about the Center's research program. Data previously used by scholars is archived here so students and faculty around the country can replicate existing studies and explore alternative hypotheses. Professor Richard C. Feiock is director of this program. In 2002-2003, the Program in Local Governance added an archive of research papers on local government institutions, policy, and regulation. Also an extensive data collection effort has been undertaken to compile, format, and archive government political structure and tax and expenditure data for all local government units in Florida. These data will be available through the Program web page and permit undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty to systematically study Florida local governments. RESEARCH

ffective public policy for local government requires reliable information on the Econsequences of alternative policies. Determining the effects of local public policies is very difficult, in part because the required location data has until recently been unavailable and the local impacts of regulations are inevitably distributed over space. This fact partly accounts for the paucity of reliable research on important issues related to the consequences, both intended and unintended, of state and local policies and regulations. With the advent of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and an emerging understanding of spatial statistics, rigorous examination of the impacts of state and local policy is now more feasible than ever. Florida State’s College of Social Science has a state of the art GIS laboratory, and training in these statistical methods is generally expected of undergraduate and graduate students who received appointments with the DeVoe L. Moore Center. From our undergraduate Research Assistants to holders of DeVoe L. Moore Dissertation Fellowships, students associated with the Center are expected to learn how to critically examine public policy alternatives and to understand the statistical methods appropriate for the issue in question. Most of the Center sponsored research is conducted within four core areas of interest: housing markets and related issues such as transportation investments, the impact of local rules and regulations, local politics, and institutions that foster economic development. For the titles of recent studies, see the list of books and articles that have been published by Center faculty and students.

Local Housing Markets

reating data bases on housing markets and improving our understanding about the C relationships among apartment rents, house prices, neighborhood characteristics and public services are prerequisites for much of our research on the impact of state and local regulations. Among the important issues being investigated include the theory and measurement of housing affordability, policy alternatives to alleviate problems associated with excessive housing costs among low income households, neighborhood effects in housing markets, and the impact of growth management regulations and exclusionary zoning practices on apartment rents and house prices. The Center's research on local housing markets received support from a generous gift from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Current work at the Center includes investigating how neighborhood conditions affect homeownership as a wealth-building opportunity for poorer households. Research is also underway on how to reliably measure the effects of neighborhood characteristics and other locational factors on housing prices. The Center also sponsored the manuscript America’s Housing Crisis: A Case of Government Failure, which was co-edited by Randall Holcombe, Professor of Economics and Center faculty member. The book is currently being reviewed by a number of potential publishers. This book describes how America’s housing market shows many signs of crisis and in response, many cities are calling for increased government regulation. The book shows that many of the problems with today’s housing market are the result of government interventions, and that the market is capable of addressing these problems.

The Impact of State and Local Regulation on Housing and Economic Development

he myriad of state and local rules and regulations that might effect local housing Tmarkets and economies, coupled with the fact that the enforcement and implementation of specific rules can vary among jurisdictions and over time, greatly complicates this research agenda. Our research agenda therefore includes developing data bases for each county’s rules and regulations and exploring alternative ways to measure the stringency of various combinations of these potential constraints on development. Current work at the Center includes studying the impact of local land use regulations on the affordability of starter homes and on the construction of multifamily housing, particularly within suburban communities where there is a scarcity of low income housing. This work was initiated a number of years ago by a gift from the Atlanta Federal Home Loan Bank.

The Politics of Neighborhood Associations

eighborhood associations represent a relatively recent form of governing N organization, the effects of which are not fully understood and which is particularly 23

prominent in Florida. This research project focuses on a number of important questions about governance and political behavior that are brought to bear by the presence of neighborhood associations. Center Professors Richard Feiock and Charles Barrilleaux direct this research project. Feiock's work examines collective action problems in the formation of neighborhood and homeowner associations, the constitutional rules of their charters, and the regulations they impose on residents. Professor Barrilleaux's research focuses on why people join voluntary associations and how neighborhood associations affect individual political behavior and attitudes towards politics.

Policy Tools and Policy Implementation in Land Use Regulation

o what extent do city governments engage in policy actions to restrict development T and manage growth? How do local political institutions shape the restrictiveness of local growth management? While these two questions are central to debates regarding local land use regulation and growth management, they have not been adequately addressed in the literature. This project investigates the adoption of various policy instruments for the regulation land use and how they are implemented by local governments in Florida. The project was initiated through a survey of county government land-use policy in 2001-2002 supported by a DeVoe Moore Center dissertation fellowship. Over the last year, Center Professor Richard Feiock has advanced this work by extending the survey to municipal governments. With continued fellowship support from the Center in the next year, Professor Feiock and his students will investigate the roles of political institutions and the roles of environmental and development interests on local growth management policy choices.

The Politics of Local Land Use Governance

ne of the central roles of economic institutions is to define property rights for how O people use land. In the United States, local governments are primarily responsible for defining these property rights through zoning and other planning activities. However, local governments do not simply create a static system of property rights that never changes. Rather, the property rights defined by local governments are constantly changing in response to changes in the overall local political economy. Frequently, changes in property rights are embodied in local growth management decisions and land use rules, which define the required, prohibited, and permitted uses of local land resources. This project develops a “political market” framework combining elements of political economy and property rights theories with work on local government structure. This framework conceptualizes changes in land use rules as the result of a dynamic contracting process between the suppliers and demanders of change in a community mediated by political institutions. Current work includes surveys of city and county

planning officials and a study of amendments to local comprehensive plans future land uses that is supported by the National Science Foundation (award #030799).

Bargaining and Economic Development

and use policy can range from the encouragement of growth, with programs such as L tax abatements, to efforts to slow its pace, through growth management programs. These policies are at two ends on a continuum of prices that cities can charge firms to locate within their boundaries. Despite this underlying connection, research in economic development and growth management have used different approaches and basically evolved into two separate literatures. This study focuses on the roles of institutions, bargaining, and networks on economic development policy choices. Current research applies game theoretic, institutional rational choice and ICA frameworks to investigate development policy choices, incentive amounts and joint ventures. A survey of city economic development directors was conducted for all incorporated places over 10,000 within 12 selected metropolitan areas and all cities nation-wide with populations of 50,000 or greater. The surveys collected data from development directors about recent negotiated location incentives deals. This project is supported by the National Science Foundation (award #214174).

Economic Freedom Project

ames D. Gwartney, Professor of Economics, leads a research team that evaluates J economic freedom in 130 countries in an ongoing effort to measure the consistency of each nation’s institutions and policies with economic freedom. The ninth annual report, written by Gwartney and Center affiliate Robert Lawson, was recently published by the Cato Institute, Canada’s Fraser Institute, and Institutes from 70 other countries. The index uses 38 different components designed to reflect the degree to which personal choice, voluntary exchange, open markets, and protection of property rights is present in each country. These data are being used by scholars throughout the world who are working on issues related to the impact of institutions on a variety of social and economic outcomes. As of year end 2006, the data had been used and cited in more than 200 scholarly articles. In general, the research indicates that more economic freedom translates into less poverty, faster growth, and higher scores on the United Nations Human Development Index. Recent reports have been reviewed in several publications including Business Week and The Economist.

Regional Governance and Development

his project focuses on the role of institutional collective action (ICA) in the T formation, evolution, and performance of voluntary approaches to regional governance. The ICA has been applied to the investigation of networks of interlocal agreements, regional districts, and regional partnership organizations. Current work

focuses on regional economic development partnerships, joint development projects, and voluntary coordination of land use decisions among local governments.

Institutions, Policy and Property Value

his program investigates the influence of different institutions and governance Tstructures on local government policy and fiscal choices and the impacts of different political institutions for property values. Current work includes surveys of mayors and city managers in Florida cities regarding motivations and career incentives to investigate how institutions and political turnover influe nce city’s development and fiscal policy decisions. This work has been supported by the Fulbright Scholar Foundation. A second project will examine whether having council-manager government or district based elections lead to higher sales values for homes.

CRITICAL ISSUES SYMPOSIUM

he Critical Issues Symposium is designed to provide a high-powered academic forum Tto address issues related to the Center's mission. Scholars from around the country are invited to participate with FSU faculty, graduate students and select undergraduates to discuss research related to the consequences of state and local rules and regulations, the politics of government control, and other aspects of government intervention in economic affairs.

February, 2008 “Achieving Growth Management Through Public Open Space Acquisition: Realities and Prospects”

This conference was organized by Harrison Higgins and Tim Chapin of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning. It brought to campus some of the best scholars in the nation working on open space research to inform the Florida legislature (and those of other states) on various aspects of resource protection and urban containment through public land acquisition.

February, 2008 “In Recognition of the Works of Thomas R. Dye”

This conference was organized by Center faculty member Charles Barrilleaux and honored Professor Tom Dye of FSU’s Political Science Department. Professor Dye is one of the University’s most famous faculty members. The DeVoe Moore Center sponsored this conference in recognition of Professor Dye having established The Policy Sciences Program, the forbearer of the DeVoe Moore Center, and because his research has focused on issues central to the Center’s mission, including the importance of

economic development as an engine for democratic politics in the United States; the necessity of limiting the regulatory role of the state to protect democratic outcomes in public policy; and the need to maintain open institutions with free entry of new participants to avoid rule by sets of interlocking elites.

April, 2008 “School Sitings and Healthy Communities”

This conference was organized by Professor Rebecca Miles, Department of Urban and Regional Planning. This symposium focused on Florida’s approach to school siting and school concurrency and their impact on the development of healthy communities. This symposium brought together representatives of state agencies involved in school siting and other school-related issues with national scholars knowledgeable about related issues and policies throughout the country.

April, 2007 “Takings: The Uses and Abuses of Eminent Domain and Land Use Regulation”

This symposium was organized by DeVoe Moore Professor Bruce Benson. It was jointly sponsored by the DeVoe Moore Center and The Program in Law, Economics and Business, College of Law. The symposium brought together a diverse group of scholars and practitioners to explore the uses and abuses of eminent domain and regulatory takings. Three different publishers have agreed to publish the papers presented at the conference.

February, 2007 “Development and the Environment: Coordinating Fragmented Authorities in Metropolitan Areas”

This symposium was organized by College of Social Sciences Professors John Scholz (Political Science), Richard Feiock (Public Administration), and T.K. Ahn (Political Science). It brought to campus scholars from throughout the U.S. and abroad who are well recognized experts on the coordination issue. The papers presented at the conference are being edited into a volume which will shortly be submitted for publication consideration.

2006 “Public and Private Institutions, Political Action, and the Practice of Local Government”

This symposium addressed issues of political behavior, the development of public and private institutions, and the intersection of behavior and institutions in the practice of local government. Topics covered included the emergence of various forms of private governance institutions, political behavior in public and quasi-public settings (e.g., in private organizations), citizen satisfaction with private and public governance institutions, and the responsiveness of public and private institutions. The papers presented at the conference were published in a special issue of a public policy journal that was edited by Charles Barrilleaux, who is a Professor of Political Science and a Center faculty member.

2005 “Evaluating Growth Management in Florida”

This symposium involved FSU faculty from economics, urban and regional planning, and public administration, as well as outside experts presenting original research on various aspects of growth management planning and implementation in Florida. Scholars assessed the degree to which growth management has been successful or unsuccessful in Florida and what options are available in the future. The papers presented at the conference will be published in book form in the near future by Ashgate Press.

2005 “State and Local Government Regulations and Economic Development”

At this symposium, scholars from throughout the nation presented their original research investigating the effects of regulations on local economic development. Do these regulations increase or hinder economic development and how can they be improved? The papers were published in a special issue of the Journal of Regional Science, edited by Keith Ihlanfeldt, Center Director, in February, 2006.

2004 "A Conference to Develop a Research Agenda on the Relationship Between Urban Design Patterns and Quality of Life, Based on the Welaunee Development, Tallahassee, Florida"

This symposium brought to campus nationally known experts on "Smart Growth" to assist the DeVoe Moore Center develop a research agenda on Welaunee, a large infill, mixed-use development located within the City of Tallahassee.

2003 "Adaptive Governance of Florida's Water Conflicts"

Increasingly, water conflicts extend beyond the statutory authority, competence, geographical jurisdictions, and political constituencies of highly specialized governing authorities. The DMC Critical Issues Symposium on Adaptive Governance and Florida's Water Conflicts, organized by John T. Scholz (Eppes Professor of Political Science) and Bruce Stiftel (Professor of Urban and Regional Planning), focused on the evolution of new institutions that attempt to resolve conflicts among competing authorities in the seemingly water-rich Eastern United States. Nine case studies of water quality, water quantity, and habitat preservation or restoration in Florida were chosen to span the range of conflicts crossing fragmented regulatory boundaries. Each study surveyed the history of the conflict and then focused on the innovative institutional arrangements (some successful, some not) that evolved to grapple with the resulting challenges. Then 22 scholars and practitioners in urban planning, political science, engineering, law, policy administration, and geology offered theoretical and experience-based perspectives on the cases. These analyses were organized around five challenges that new institutions must overcome to develop sustainable solutions for water users-- Who is to be involved in the policy process? How are they to interact? How is science to be used? How are users and the public to be made aware? How can solutions be made efficient and equitable? The cases and analyses were published as Adaptive Governance and Water Conflict by Resources for the Future Press.

2002 “Decentralized Governance Within Metropolitan Areas”

This symposium addressed the question of how regional cooperation among local governments and private organizations achieved to best address region-wide problems. The papers presented at the symposium are to be published in the book Decentralized Governance: The Organization of Governments in Metropolitan Areas, edited by Richard Feiock, Georgetown University Press, Summer 2004.

2001 “Measuring State and Local Regulatory Environments: Issues in Theory and Measurement”

This symposium brought together political scientists, planners, and economists as well as graduate students from the College of Social Sciences to discuss the design of new research initiatives in the under-researched area of the consequences of state and local rules and regulations.

2001 “The Causes and Consequences of Exclusionary Regulations”

This symposium focused on those land use regulations that limit the supply of low- income housing within suburban communities. Both the motivations behind the adoption of these regulations and their effects on urban housing markets were explored by an interdisciplinary group of internationally known scholars. Ten of the papers presented at the symposium were be published in a special issue of the journal Urban Studies (February, 2004), edited by Keith Ihlanfeldt.

2000 “Land-Use Planning for the 21st Century”

The papers presented at this symposium appear in a book edited by Randall G. Holcombe and Samuel Staley, Smarter Growth: Market-Based Strategies of Land-Use Planning in the 21st Century, published by Greenwood Press (2001).
