  • Economic Development Assistance to Professional and Technical Services
    JRAP (2002)32:2 Economic Development Assistance to Professional and Technical Services 1 Donald P. Hirasuna Abstract. A computable general equilibrium model is used to compare the economic impact of subsidies between professional and technical ser- vices, high-technology manufacturing and traded services. The results suggest that the largest increase in aggregate real income is a factor tax deduction on capital to high -technology manufacturing. A factor tax deduction for the purchase of labor within professional and technical services industries increases aggregate real income in comparison to the same subsidy awarded to high-technology manufacturing or traded ser- vices. However, subsidies to either high-technology manufacturing or traded services result in increased income inequality. Only a subsidy to traded services decreases income inequality. 1. Introduction For several decades, United States employment growth in services- producing industries has outstripped that of the goods-producing industry. In the period between 1970 and 1997, employment in services-producing sec- tor increased by nearly 55 million jobs. During the same period, nonfarm goods-producing employment grew by approximately five million jobs (U.S. Department of Commerce 2001). This rapid growth in employment in the services-producing sector has stimulated a great deal of interest in their pro- spective role in state economic development policy. Their potential role may be heightened if these industries are capable of increasing aggregate real in- come or decreasing income inequality.2 1 Donald Hirasuna, House Research Department, Minnesota House of Representatives, 600 State Office Building, St. Paul, MN 55155; phone number (651) 296-8038; fax number (651) 296-9887; e- mail [email protected].

    HpoQvfxoi e'v <&l Ai\xa 6r)ra. VOL. VII GETTYSBURG, PA., OCTOBER, 1882. No. 1. MUSING* BY W. B. PALMER. I sit all alone in the stillness Of a summer's eve, balmy and fair The zephyrs are wantonly sporting, And filling with perfume the air. All nature at rest, and the landscape Illumed by the moon's brightest sheen, The beams on the lawn and the shadows Richly carpet with patchwork the green. I hear, at a distance, the music Of violin, flute and guitar; And withdrawn to a place of seclusion, Find solace in fragrant cigar. Sweet time for reflection and study, For rev'ries and dreams coming fast, I think with much hope of the future, And then, I revert to the past. The years have sat lightly upon me, Many days of my youth still remain, My life, though, has been not all pleasure, For some things have given me pain. Ha! a strain of the music arrests me, In snatches it falls on my ear, With attention again I will listen, Do I certainly rightly hear? Oh yes, I could ne'er be mistaken; That rondo, whose cadences low As murmurs of slow, gentle waters, So well and distinctly I know. 'Tis five years, and more, since I heard it, AVhat changes have happened since then ! Yet clearly are things erst forgotten Recalled as I hear it again. •Read before the Tennessee Alpha Alumni (Nashville chapter) of Phi Delta Theta, Tuesday evening, Sept. 26, 1882.
