我们调查了一个重要的区域为基础的干预措施（LEGI），旨在增加就业和创业活动在30个贫困地区在英格兰各地的影响。我们研究的空间格局的影响，在一个很好的空间尺度上使用面板数据的小地理单元和回归不连续设计，利用程序的资格规则。结果表明，相当大的局部位移效应。在靠近处理区边界的处理区，就业增加，但代价是边界对面未处理地区的就业大量减少。这些差异在离开边界时很快消失，在方案取消后也不再存在。这些研究结果支持了这样一种观点，即基于地区的干预措施可能对经济中未经处理的部分产生相当大的负面影响。这种转移可以大大减少（或在这种情况下消除）任何净收益。
We investigate the impacts of a significant area-based intervention (LEGI) that aimed to increase employment and entrepreneurial activity in 30 disadvantaged areas across England. We examine the spatial pattern of effects at a fine spatial scale using panel data for small geographic units and a regression discontinuity design that exploits the programme eligibility rule. The results indicate considerable local displacement effects. Employment increases in treated areas close to the treatment area boundary at the cost of significant employment losses in untreated localities just across the boundary. These differences vanish quickly when moving away from the boundary and do not persist after the programme is abolished. These findings support the view that area-based interventions may have considerable negative displacement effects on untreated parts of the economy. This displacement can substantially reduce (or in this case eliminate) any net benefits.
