- Title
INCOME, REGION, COMMUNITY-SIZE AND COLOR.
- Authors
Oliver, Jr., Henry M.
- Abstract
The article introduces the distinction between low income associated with region and community-size in the U.S. The economic significance of the distinction follows that community and income sizes might provide evidence of regional income disparities that would indicate governmental agencies to strive better geographical distribution of resources. The author states that generally, the agencies should direct efforts towards small communities instead of few areas characterized by very low incomes. Economist are interested in geographical income data for the reasons that it would help them make decisions on the present geographical distribution of labor and apply teachings of conventional welfare economics to a program of public finance.
