  • The Fields Driving Economic Growth in the Golden Triangle 2009-2014
    Research in Business and Economics Journal Volume 14 The fields driving economic growth in the Golden Triangle 2009-2014 Carl B. Montano Lamar University James L. Slaydon Lamar University Ashraf F. El-Houbi Lamar University ABSTRACT This paper is the third of a series of articles on the fields driving economic growth in Golden Triangle of Texas, spanning three five-year periods from 1997 to 2014: (1) 1997-2002, (2) 2003-2008, and (3) 2009-2014. Like the previous two series, this article analyzed which sectors (NAICS 3-digit codes) are drivers of the economic growth in Golden Triangle by virtue of the fact that they increased over the five-year time frame while also involved in exporting. These sectors generated new income and jobs to the Southeast Texas area, with larger multiplier effects. Analysis using location quotient and shift-share were utilized on the data available from the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). The results showed which industries: (1) persisted as the main employers in the Southeast Texas area, (2) reduced as employees to the more competitive sectors, (3) remained as drivers of economic growth in the Southeast Texas area, or (4) have been supplanted by new drivers of economic growth that clearly indicated having comparative advantages. Lastly, the implications on both policy and research are obtained for planning of economic development in the Golden Triangle of Southeast Texas. Keywords: shift-share analysis, comparative advantage, location quotient, exporting and importing industries Copyright statement: Authors retain the copyright to the manuscripts published in AABRI journals. Please see the AABRI Copyright Policy at http://www.aabri.com/copyright.html The fields driving, Page 1 Research in Business and Economics Journal Volume 14 This paper is a sequel to the 2003-2008 study that re-examined the drivers of economic growth in the Golden Triangle of Southeast Texas (Montano, et al., 2014).

About fifteen of these become tropical depressions, areas of low pressure with closed wind patterns. Of the fifteen, ten become tropical storms, and six become hurricanes. Every five years, one of the hurricanes will become reach category five status, normally in the western Atlantic or western Caribbean. About every fifty years, one of these extremely intense hurricanes will strike the United States, with disastrous consequences. Texas has seen its share of hurricane activity over the many years it has been inhabited. Nearly five hundred years ago, unlucky Spanish explorers learned firsthand what storms along the coast of the Lone Star State were capable of. Despite these setbacks, Spaniards set down roots across Mexico and Texas and started colonies. Galleons filled with gold and other treasures sank to the bottom of the Gulf, off such locations as Padre and Galveston Islands.

Fifteen radios were deployed during the pilot program year (2009), and two local schools have been involved in the project. Jena has been collecting data on distances traveled, water depth, and the presence or absence of aquatic vegetation. Jena has a B.S. and M.S. from Texas Tech University's Department of Natural Resources Management. While an undergraduate she participated in the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Student Career Experience Program in Roswell, NM working on endangered and wetland species, and on the Kofa NWR in Yuma, AZ, working on big horn sheep and bat conservation. Her master's thesis work with Dr. David Haukos on the survival of female northern pintails wintering in the Playa Lakes region of Northwestern Texas was published in the Journal of Wildlife Management in 2006, and she has several other peer-reviewed articles. After graduation, Jena was the Wetlands and Waterfowl Biologist for the Lower Rio Grande NWR Complex, working in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Santa Ana and Laguna Atascosa Refuges before joining the staff at McFaddin and Texas Point in 2007.

  • One Year After the Storm: Texas Gulf Coast Residents' Views And
    August 2018 One Year After the Storm: Texas Gulf Coast Residents’ Views and Experiences with Hurricane Harvey Recovery The Kaiser Family Foundation/Episcopal Health Foundation Harvey Anniversary Survey Prepared by: Liz Hamel, Bryan Wu, Mollyann Brodie Kaiser Family Foundation and Shao-Chee Sim, Elena Marks Episcopal Health Foundation Executive Summary On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane near Rockport, Texas. Hovering over the region for days, the storm dropped record amounts of rainfall, and flooded over 300,000 structures, 500,000 cars, and caused damage in excess of $125 billion.1 In order to understand the needs and circumstances of vulnerable Texans affected by the hurricane, the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Episcopal Health Foundation partnered to conduct two surveys of adults living in 24 counties along the Texas coast that were particularly hard-hit. The first survey, conducted between two and three months after Harvey, was an initial look at how residents were faring in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane. As the one-year anniversary approaches, the current survey seeks to shed light on the longer-term recovery needs of those who are still struggling to put their homes and their lives together nearly one year later. Both surveys allow for examination of the views and experiences of residents in these counties overall, as well as in four distinct geographic regions: Harris County (the county where Houston is located and the largest in terms of population); the counties surrounding Harris that are part of the same Regional Council of Governments (“Outside Harris”); the three counties (Orange, Jefferson, and Hardin) that make up the “Golden Triangle” area east of Houston where the cities of Beaumont, Orange, and Port Arthur are located; and several counties to the southwest of Houston that make up the coastal area including Corpus Christi and Rockport (“Coastal”).
