Transboundary Flows of Capital-Related Income

跨区域的收入流动是地理学和区域科学中有关区域资本积累和企业主导地位的重要理论的核心。与区域间收入流动有关的研究的主要问题是缺乏关于流动性质的一致理论，以及缺乏足够的数据库来检验假设。这个项目的目的是调查跨境收入流动个人收入和消费支出的跨境流动，包括资本的缺席所有权、通勤者的工资和旅游支出的收益。调查人员将通过精炼和协调以前无法从美国国税局、经济分析局和人口普查局获得的数据，开发一个跨州资本相关收入流动的数据库。这些数据将被用来辨别跨地区资本相关收入流动的模式。这些模式将基于这些“跨境”资本流动与几个被认为可以解释资本流动的重要变量的回归。这些数据还将被用来检验一个关键假设，即企业运营的经济特征和地区经济结构对资本积累的影响程度。这项研究将建立一个关于区域间资本流动的数据库。这将有助于长期受到资本流动数据限制的区域资本理论，以及涉及为构建次国家一级的社会核算矩阵而开发非调查方法的其他研究。这项研究将评估企业规模、金融机构特征和信贷政策在解释这些流动方面的地区差异的解释价值。通过增加我们对经济活动扩张和收缩方式的了解，地方和区域官员将能够更好地预测和规划这些显著的乘数效应。

Income flows across regions are at the core of important theories in Geography and Regional Science relating to regional capital accumulation and corporate dominance. Major problems with research relating to interregional income flows are the lack of a consistent theory about the nature of flows and the lack of an adequate data base to test hypotheses. The purpose of this project is to investigate income flows across boundaries Transboundary flows of personal income and consumption expenditures include the proceeds from the absentee ownership of capital, commuter salaries, and tourist spending. The investigators will develop a data base on flows of capital-related income across state boundaries by refining and reconciling previously unavailable data from the Internal Revenue Service, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of the Census. The data will be used to discern patterns of capital-related income flows across regions. These patterns will be based on the regression of these "transboundary" flows on several important variables thought to explain capital flows. The data will also be used to test a key hypothesis regarding the extent to which economic characteristics of business operations and regional economic structure affect capital accumulation. The study will build a data base on interregional capital flows. It will contribute to regional capital theory, which has long been constrained by lack of capital flow data, and to other research that involves the development of nonsurvey methods for the construction of social accounting matrices at the sub-state level. The study will assess the explanatory value of regional differences in firm size, character of financial institutions, and credit policies in the explanation of these flows. By increasing our understanding of the ways that economic activities expand and contract, local and regional officials will be better able to anticipate and plan for these marked multiplier effects.
