Jeffrey P. Cohen
Jeffrey P. Cohen, assistant professor of economics at the Barney School of Business, had two refereed journal articles published this month. One of them, titled “An Introduction to the Two Rate Taxation of Land and Buildings” (with Cletus Coughlin of the St. Louis Fed), was published as the lead article in the May/June 2005 issue of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Review. The article summarizes the theory and evidence for taxing buildings at a lower rate than land, which should encourage property owners to improve the structures on their land.

The other paper, “Agglomeration Economies and Industry Location Decisions: The Impacts of Spatial and Industrial Spillovers” (with Catherine Morrison Paul of the University of California, Davis), was the lead article in the May 2005 issue of the journal Regional Science and Urban Economics. Agglomeration economies occur when firms cluster together (such as along Boston’s Route 128 or California’s Silicon Valley) and benefit from the proximity to other firms, with ease of recruiting and hiring employees due to an existing pool of skilled workers. Also, locating near suppliers of other inputs to the production process (such as agricultural product suppliers for food manufacturing firms) can lead to agglomeration economies in the form of cost savings for firms.
David E. Desplaces
David E. Desplaces, assistant professor of entrepreneurial studies and management, Barney School of Business, presented (with co-author Henry Ulrich) a paper titled “Venture Capital: Spatial Distribution of Firms and Investments, 1997-1999” on May 12 at the annual meeting of the Eastern Academy of Management.
Desplaces also presided over the local arrangements for this year’s conference, held in Springfield, Mass., raising over $21,000 in funding. He coordinated an invited panel of scholars and deans to discuss AACSB and Business Ethics Education. AACSB, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, is the accrediting agency for bachelors, masters, and doctoral degree programs in business administration, management, and accounting.
