Urban Enterprise Zones

Abstract: A 19 page overview of urban enterprise zones. Outlines the successes and failures of these zones presenting empirical evidence from several. Concludes that although these zones often result in jobs, too few of those jobs are filled by disadvantaged zone residents. Suggests requiring the hiring of specific target groups in order for a business to reap the tax and regulatory incentives offered in these areas. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
