  • Economic Development, Land Use, and the System of Cities in Northwest Ohio During the Nineteenth Century
    CREATING CONNECTIONS: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, LAND USE, AND THE SYSTEM OF CITIES IN NORTHWEST OHIO DURING THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Matthew D. Bloom A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2009 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor David Shoemaker Graduate Faculty Representative Edmund J. Danziger, Jr. Timothy F. Messer-Kruse © 2009 Matthew D. Bloom All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Examining how economics, geography, and politics interacted in the expansion and economic changes within the United States, this dissertation investigated the symbiotic relationships and their qualities among the economic transformations of an urban area and its surrounding hinterland throughout the nineteenth century. Specifically, it investigated how the economic and population changes within Toledo, Ohio, molded the development of agricultural hinterlands and how the condition and settlement of the surrounding rural areas shaped the economic changes of Toledo. The quality of transportation connections among Toledo and other nascent towns, market interactions among residents, and the relationships between land quality and usage provided for symbiotic economic development of urban areas and rural hinterlands. The ability to use certain transportation infrastructures, the condition of land, and the availability of natural resources determined the type, quantity, and strength of market connections among people, which influenced the amount and forms of economic change for the area. Conclusions of this study were drawn from analyzing census records, newspaper advertisements and editorials, agricultural reports, and business records and literature. This research introduced a new paradigm of regional economic change named the “subregional model” which included a hub, local economic centers, small villages and farms, and links of various qualities.

  • OHFOOD: an Ohio Food Industries Input-Output Model (Year 2010, Version 13.0, June 2012)
    OHFOOD: An Ohio Food Industries Input-Output Model (Year 2010, Version 13.0, June 2012) by Thomas L. Sporleder1 Abstract OHFOOD, an acronym for Ohio food, is a sophisticated input-output model. The model is designed specifically to capture the interdependencies and linkages among various sectors and industries composing the complex economy of Ohio. The input-output model of Ohio's economy also maintains substantial detail on the food and agricultural sectors, referred to as the agrifood supply chain. The interindustry model describes the linkages among various sectors of the economy and is designed specifically to provide estimates of the economic importance of the food and agriculture-related cluster, along with the general manufacturing and service sectors, of the Ohio economy. In addition, OHFOOD provides several types of economic multipliers for detailed food and agriculture-related sectors of the economy. This abstract is a brief overview of the importance of food and agriculture to the state's economy, based on the interindustry model. The analysis indicates that for 2010 the food and agricultural cluster of Ohio's economy contributed 11.7 percent of the output, added 10.7 percent to Ohio’s gross state product, and accounted for 14.0 percent of the total employment in the Ohio economy. The agrifood cluster of the Ohio economy accounts for 1 of every 7 jobs in Ohio. Of these, over 93,000 jobs are in production agriculture with over an additional 59,000 just in food processing. In 2010, the Ohio economy generated a gross state product (GSP) of $477.7 billion.

The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1968 History, modern University Microf ilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan Copyright by William Wayne Giffin 1969 THE NEGRO IN OHIO, 1914-1959 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By William Wayne Giffin, B.A., B.S. Ed., A.M. ****** The Ohio State University 1968 Approved by Adviser Department of History. PREFACE This dissertation concerns the public life of Negro Ohioans, their standing in the wider society of Ohio and their responses to this. It deals, to be more explicit, with the conditions of Negroes in relation to employment, housing and education; their treatment in public accommo­ dations; and their role in politics and government. The organizational response of Negroes to the status of the Negro population of Ohio is also stressed. Each of these factors is discussed in relation to the periods 1914-1919, I92O-I929 and 1950-1 9 3 9 * The research for this monograph was done in sources deposited in government, museum and university libraries. This dissertation is not, per se, cultural, social or intellectual history of the Negro in Ohio. Therefore, it is not basically concerned with the development of Negro' groups and institutions, e.g., families, churdæs, schools and fraternal organizations. Likewise, it does not cover the development of Negro art, music and drama. These as­ pects of the history of the Negro in Ohio are worthy of study and hopefully will be researched.

  • Ohio the Many Sides of the Forest Economy
    1 The many sides of the forest economy Letter from State Forester Ohio’s forest products industry contributes $15 billion to the Ohio economy, employs over 119,000 people and generates payrolls that exceed $4 billion dollars. The forest economy is influenced by a wide variety of market segments that include timber harvesting, lumber and veneer production, furniture and cabinet manufacturing, paper manufacturing and a healthy export market for logs and lumber. Economic contributions are also made by non-timber related products such as maple syrup and Christmas trees. Forests are unique in that their values can be enjoyed in a wide variety of ways. They can be expressed in terms of recreational enjoyment such as hiking, camping, hunting, fishing or the simple enjoyment of autumn colors. Forest values also can be expressed in returns to environmental quality like clean air and water, such as when forests protect municipal watersheds. Recently, a new value has been created with the advent of the carbon credits market. The list of benefits that the forest provides is extensive to be sure, but would not be complete if it did not include the economic returns that are provided in employment, output and income. This report details those values and the benefits they have on the economy of Ohio. John Dorka, State Forester & Chief Division of Forestry Ohio Department of Natural Resources Economics of the Forest Products Industry in Ohio 2 Highlights The state of Ohio has approximately 8.1 million acres under forest cover, which is 30% of Ohio’s land area. The forests in Ohio are composed of 96% hardwood tree species and 4% softwood tree species.

This executive summary provides a brief overview of the importance of food and agriculture to the state's economy, based on the interindustry model. The analysis indicates that for 2006 the food and agricultural cluster of Ohio's economy contributed 11 percent of the output, added 8 percent to Ohio's gross state product, accounted for 14 percent of the total employment, and contributed 8 percent of total income. In 2006, the Ohio economy generated a gross state product (GSP) of $461.3 billion. The food and agricultural cluster's share of this GSP was $38.3 billion, or $8.31 of each $100 of Ohio GSP. For 2006 the contributions to GSP for the five components of the agrifood cluster are $1.7 billion for farm inputs, machinery, and professional services; another $2.6 billion from agricultural production; about $12.4 billion from processing; an additional $12.8 from food wholesaling and retailing; and another $8.7 billion in food services.
