The first national study (Part One) ever to investigate the effect of Enterprise Zones on the employment of residents, and the first local study (Part Two) ever to investigate the number of jobs created per zone residents and business. Terry Van Allen's analyses draw some important, and surprising, conclusions from the data derived from the 1989 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development national survey of 60 EZs and their surrounding communities in 14 states. Providing a thorough historical background covering state and federal programs in Great Britain as well as in the United States, and an overview of the literature and economic theories on employment, Terry Van Allen's study offers major insights on the implication of Enterprise Zones policy as well as crucial policy recommendations for greater efficiency and success.

In the last decade, most states have targeted certain depressed areas for revitalization by providing a combination of labor and capital tax incentives to firms operating in an "enterprise zone" (EZ). A partial equilibrium model is used to analyze the theoretical effects of various EZ incentives on zone wages and employment. I review empirical evidence on the operational success of EZ programs in Britain and the U.S., and present new evidence from the 1990 Census on the success of the Indiana program. Most British zone businesses are relocations, with an annual cost per job of approximately $15,000. U.S. surveys find that much zone activity comes from expansions of existing businesses, with the average cost per zone job ranging from $4,564 to $13,000 annually (about $31,113 per zone resident job). How do zones perform relative to what would have been their performance in the absence of zone designation? Evidence on this issue is summarized for the state of Indiana, where the zone program appears to have increased inventory investment and reduced unemployment claims. But new evidence based on the 1990 Census of Population indicates that the economic well-being of zone residents in Indiana has not appreciably improved
