The School of Policy Studies

The School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University was established in 1996 with the objective of achieving excellence in the design, implementation, and evaluation of policy. Undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Economics and Public Administration and Urban Studies reside within the School. The graduate degree programs include the Ph.D. in Economics, the Master’s degree in Urban Studies, and the Master’s of Public Administration. Undergraduate majors in economics and urban studies are also available. A Ph.D in Public Policy is currently being developed. The School also houses several of the University’s most prominent research centers .

The Domestic Studies Program is concerned with urban structure, human resources, and regional economic development. It has focused on econometric modeling of labor opportunities for the low income and the unemployed, the determinants and costs of low birth-weight children, and the special issues surrounding part-time employment. The program has also conducted research on urban transportation and problems that have arisen concerning the structure of governance to deliver public services to the needy. Funding to support this work has included grants from the Federal Department of Health and Human Services, The Rockefeller Foundation, HUD and The U.S. Department of Commerce.

Research Atlanta Inc. is a privately funded research center whose goal is to inform and stimulate debate and action on important public policy issues facing metropolitan Atlanta. Funding comes mainly from the corporate sector. Recent research reports include Models for School Reform, The Olympic Legacy: Building on What Was Achieved, and The Allocation of Georgia Lottery Funds. Forthcoming research includes reports on property taxes, the efficiency of city government, and city population changes. Research Atlanta publicizes and disseminates its work through an aggressive outreach program and research findings are regularly reported in the local and national press.

The Urban Study Institute was established to provide high quality research on state policy issues that affect urban areas in Georgia. Funding comes from local governments in the Atlanta area and the Board of Directors includes the chief executives. Current research projects include a demographic/epidemiological study of patients of the Grady Health system; policy implications of recent changes in the private health care market, especially the growth of managed care; and cost of living adjustments in school funding. The Urban Study Institute also provides short term research on urban issues to Atlanta area members of the Georgia General Assembly.

The Applied Research Center brings together university faculty and public officials to find practical solutions to public policy problems. Through research and publications, the Center contributes to the discourse and debate on public policy in the Atlanta metropolitan region, the state of Georgia, and the nation by increasing the knowledge and understanding of public policy issues by the public, elected and appointed officials, and scholars in the field. The Center is most widely know for the Georgia State Poll, a quarterly survey of a scientifically valid sample of Georgians on a variety of public interest issues. The Survey Research Lab within the Applied Research Center maintains one of the most versatile and well trained survey research staffs in the Southeast. The Council for School Performance, a program housed within the Center, provides information on the performance of public schools and school districts in Georgia. Other sponsored projects conducted by the Center come from public and private entities that desire the expertise and professionalism that the Center offers in the areas of social research, evaluation, policy analysis and public opinion studies.

The Program in Public Finance and Governance has focused on both tax policy and expenditure analysis, and has included econometric modeling and simulation analysis of the impact of policy changes on revenue flows, the distribution of tax burdens, and fiscal disparities. Recent externally funded projects have included comprehensive tax studies for the states of Ohio and Georgia, and the telecommunications tax study for the state of Utah. This program is also home to the Georgia Fiscal Research Program, a research and technical assistance program that will support the state government in its work on the design and evaluation of economic policy.

The Health Policy Center was created in 1994 to serve as a non-partisan health care research center to conduct research on issues that will lead to the improvement of health policy. The center is funded and governed by the Georgia Coalition for Health, a consortium of health care providers, policy makers, businesses in the health care industry. The center’s talent is faculty drawn from business and health sciences. The Health Policy Center’s biggest current project is a Medicaid reform study being done at the governor’s request. The study looks at ways to reform the state’s Medicaid system, making it more efficient without limiting eligibility.

The Environmental Policy Program is concerned with a range of issues including water resource management, measuring the value of environmental benefits and costs, and investment planning for environmental protection. Its objectives are to inform and improve environmental policy with scholarly

i work. A joint program with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is operative, and faculty are exchanged on a regular basis. A modern experimental laboratory is an integral part of the environmental program and greatly enhances the research power of the faculty in this area. It has also opened the field of experimental economics for graduate students in the program. External funding for the environmental program has come from the U. S. Department of Energy, National Science Foundation and from the private sector. Much of the core support for this program is from the Georgia Research Alliance, a private sector driven organization, and from the state government.

The International Studies Program focuses on policy studies in developing and transition-economy countries. This work has centered mostly on public finances and governance, with an emphasis on modeling fiscal performance and the design of intergovernmental fiscal systems. The faculty and staff of the Center have been involved in field work and research in many countries, including Russia and several other former NIS countries, the Baltics states, several Eastern European countries, The Philippines, China, Mexico, Honduras, Egypt, and South Africa. Among the externally funded projects now completed by the Policy Research Center are economic policy studies in Guatemala and Jamaica. A fiscal modeling project is underway in Moscow City. In several cases, Center faculty have been involved directly in the policy work with the host country governments. As the international research program has grown, the companion training program has drawn worldwide interest. Among the programs carried out to date are short courses for Russians, Chinese, Central Asians, Czechs and Jamaicans. These regular visitors to campus enrich the academic life of the school in many ways.

SPECIAL TOPICS. The economics of science and technology transfer program is concerned with modeling economic aspects of science and understanding how knowledge is transmitted and capitalized. The research is complementary to the regional and labor programs in the Domestic Studies Program. Recent research has been supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Science Foundation and NATO. The research has resulted in participation in conferences held in Egypt, the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom and numerous publications. Other special topics include work in econometric theory and social choice theory.

All of the centers and programs make heavy use of the 64 graduate research assistants. These graduate students, who are preparing for careers in policy research, teaching or management, serve as research apprentices and get first hand experience with policy analysis. More senior graduate students assume greater responsibility in these projects, as their research skills mature. All graduate assistants have offices in the School and are in daily contact with the faculty.

Faculty from the accounting, management, and risk management-insurance departments are actively involved in research with senior associates in the center. Joint projects are also carried out with faculty from the Colleges of Business, Education, and Arts and Sciences. Offices are located on two floors in the College of Business Administration and two floors in the Urban Life Building.

Papers, Books, Reports and Chapters: Published or Forthcoming

The faculty publication record in 1996 was impressive. This year’s output includes more than 160 refereed papers, books, and book chapters. The quality of the placements was excellent and included the American Economic Review, Journal of Political Economy, Journal of Economic Literature, and Public Administration Review. Another 60 papers are currently under review at professional journals.

This report will address whether such a voluntary de-concentration of subsidized housing is desirable and feasible.

Furthering the Development of Downtown Housing Given the city’s object of creating a 24-hour downtown, the purpose of this study is to determine how to further the development of downtown housing. The report will investigate factors that affect the amount of housing development in the CBD in order to determine their significance in determining the amount of housing development.

Georgia Fiscal Research Program

The Georgia Fiscal Research Program (GFRP) was created to provide objective, high quality and timely research and analysis for Georgia’s state and local governments in the major policy areas of public finance. The GFRP examines areas of budgeting; capital budgeting and finance; tax policy and revenue patterns; tax expenditure and public debt capacity and policy; and the uses of public debt. In any given year the specific list of activities and projects will depend upon the policy priorities and needs of the state and its local governments. Housed within the GFRP is the Urban Studies Institute, a publicly funded research organization dedicated to providing research on state policy issues that affect urban areas in Georgia. HENRY HUCKABY is the director of the Georgia Fiscal Research Program.

Georgians For Children. To assist this organization to better understand the public finance processes and issues in Georgia, three activities were conducted by the GFRP staff: first, a document identifying and describing Georgia’s tax laws and revenue sources and relative contributions to the state’s revenue base was drafted; secondly, a one-day training session was conducted for key staff and officers of the organization on the state’s revenue structure, intergovernmental fiscal relations, budgeting process and calendar, and “train-the-trainer” instruction. Lastly, an extensive training manual on Georgia public finance was produced. Henry M. Huckaby, Larry Gess, David Sjoquist, Sally Wallace, and Richard Hawkins.

Georgia Health Policy Center

The Georgia Health Policy Center is the research arm for the Georgia Coalition for Health,Inc. The Coalition is a 501 (c.3) organization established in January 1995 to develop health policy recommendations by engaging the primary Georgia stakeholders in a non-partisan, deliberative process. The Health Policy Center is responsible for conducting research on health care issues identified by the Coalition Board, providing the Coalition with unbiased information and facilitating the interactions of the Coalition members to formulate health policy recommendations for Georgia. JIM LEDBETTER directs the Georgia Health Policy Center

Support for the Health Policy Center comes from several sources. Each of the following constituency groups comprising the Coalition Board contributes financially to the Center:

·Georgia Business Forum on Health, an affiliate of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce

·Georgia Health Decisions, a nonprofit, non-partisan, citizen-based research organization

·Georgia Healthcare Providers Council, an organization comprising eight major provider-based associations and other associate members

·Georgia’s public sector, a group of individuals representing state and local governments and health-related agencies and institutions.

Private foundations have also funded some special projects. During the last year, the Center’s operating budget was approximately 2.5 million dollars.

The Center has been involved in ensuring implementation of the Coalition Board’s recommendations regarding health insurance market reforms and health plan purchasing cooperatives. Health care market studies have also been conducted in Atlanta and Macon. However, the primary focus of the Health Policy Center’s work during 1996, at the specific request of the Governor and the Commissioner of the Department of Medical Assistance, was to study and make policy recommendations for reforming the State’s Medicaid program. The State and the Woodruff Foundation provided financial support for this project. Working with an inter-disciplinary research team of nationally recognized health care experts, the Center undertook a multi-faceted approach for studying the Medicaid program. This approach included: the development of a six year economic and demographic forecast for Georgia; a review and analysis of current Medicaid reform efforts both in Georgia and nationally; an extensive public involvement process to obtain input from citizens, Medicaid consumers, and providers; an analysis of the existing and planned health care markets; an analytic assessment of the future impact of Medicaid changes on the various components of these markets; and the development of economic actuarial models and their applications to several possible reform options in physical health and long term care.

Library/Information Center

In suppport of ongoing research projects, the School of Policy Studies houses about 2,000 volumes, including over 150 journal & newsletter subscriptions. In 1996 some 2,600 publications were circulated to faculty and graduate research assistants, with about 10 percent of the items retained in house. Representative serials and annuals include selected census and other government documents such as Employment and Earnings(BLS), Survey of Current Business(BEA); Federal Reserve Working Papers and the working papers of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Among international publications owned are Government Finance Statistics Yearbook, World Economic Outlook, World Development Report, and publications by the OECD, International Monetary Fund, The World Bank and the UN.

Training materials and selected web site lists are available for new users of the Internet. Now accessible from faculty offices and homes are over 100 electronic journal indexes on Galileo, as well as the statewide title catalog, Olli. This year we acquired 17 additional CD-ROM statistical sources for a total of 4O data sets.

Electronic literature searching for economic and public policy issues are found using such indexes as EconLit from the American Economics Association, Lexis/Nexis for tax and regulatory policy, and Legisnet from the National Council of State Legislatures.

The information center is currently building a unified database of research reports, working papers, data sets, and subscriptions available in house for quicker access by faculty.

Academic Assistance

The first graduating class from the School of Policy Studies included 31 students: 16 undergraduate, 14 master’s and 1 doctoral degree were awarded at the fall quarter commencement ceremony in December. During fall quarter, 14 percent of the current students in the undergraduate program received the academic distinction of Dean’s List or Faculty Scholar after grades were posted.

Overall enrollment in the SPS increased 11 percent from fall to winter quarter, in part due to the winter quarter enrollment of new students in the M.S. and M.P.A. programs. New recruiting activities for the master’s programs included a newspaper ad and a radio spot narrated by former Governor Joe Frank Harris, which generated more than 100 inquiries about the programs.

The Ph.D. in Economics program had its first SPS graduate fall quarter. Richard Hawkins just began his academic career after deciding, from a number of competing offers, to accept an offer from the University of West Florida.

The number of inquiries about the doctoral program has increased since the Office of Academic Assistance sent a poster highlighting the Ph.D. in Economics to 750 selected educational institutions. The goal of such advertising is to increase name recognition as well as the applicant pool. Based on applications received to date, the SPS should receive over 100 applications for the fall 1997 doctoral admission cycle.

Both the B.S. in Urban Studies and the M.S. and M.P.A. programs include an internship as part of the degree requirements, with field instruction and action research comprising an integral part of a student’s program of study. Fifty-three SPS students recently participated in internships and gained valuable hands-on experience at 47 different organizations, including: MARTA, Southern Region Education Board, Nonprofits for Nonprofits, DeKalb Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Geological Survey, the Budgetary Responsibility Oversight Committee, Save the Children, the American Cancer Society, the City of Atlanta Urban Design Commission, Air Group International, the Atlanta Ombudsman Program, and the Southern Center for the Study of Public Policy.

The entering class for winter quarter 1997 includes the aide to the Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives, the membership director for the North Georgia Chamber of Commerce, and the policy analyst for the Georgia Office of Planning and Budget. These students, and others like them, provide a rich backdrop for class discussions and projects. At the master’s level, congratulations are in order for these recent graduates: Tom Tully is administrative assistant to the county manager for Floyd County, Georgia. Rosa Hayes is Director of Equal Opportunity for the Georgia Department of Labor. Mark Nuhfer is an environmental engineer with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Clay Parks is a research associate in the Doctoral Scholars Program at the Southern Regional Education Board and is currently applying to law schools in the west and northwest. Arleen Allen has returned home to Miami and is now marketing administrator for the Tropical Federal Credit Union. Kisha Harris is pursing doctoral work at Howard University. Vince Davis, an M.P.A. alumnus from 1993, has just completed his J.D. degree at GSU.

Following up on a referral from Dr. Carl Patton, the Department of Public Administration and Urban Studies is in the last stages of negotiation with the Heart of Georgia Institute to obtain advance course standing in the Institute’s flight

108 training program for B.S. in Urban Studies students specializing in aviation management. Beginning in fall of 1996, the Institute is offering a quality flight program which allows students to earn the minimum certificate required to begin a career as a professional pilot. Discussion between GSU and the Institute centers on SPS students being allowed to complete their flight training in less than four quarters. The agreement will mean that for the first time Georgia students will not have to go out of state for flight training. Two SPS fall quarter graduates, Chris Cronk and Mike O’Leary, began their flight training at the Institute in January.
