    Bypassing the bust: the stability of upstate New York's housing markets during the recession

    Get PDF
    Over the past decade, the United States has seen real estate activity swing from boom to bust. But upstate New York has been largely insulated from this volatility, with metropolitan areas such as Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse even registering home price increases during the recession. An analysis of upstate housing markets over the most recent residential real estate cycle indicates that the region's relatively low incidence of nonprime mortgages and the better-than-average performance of these loans contributed to this stability.Recessions ; Real estate investment ; Subprime mortgage ; Housing - Finance ; Mortgage loans

    The role of colleges and universities in building local human capital

    Get PDF
    Colleges and universities can contribute to the economic success of a region by deepening the skills and knowledge—or human capital—of its residents. Producing graduates who join the region’s educated workforce is one way these institutions increase human capital levels. In addition, the knowledge and technologies created through research activities at area universities may not only attract new firms to a region but also help existing businesses expand and innovate. These “spillover effects” can in turn raise the region’s demand for high-skilled workers.Human capital ; Universities and colleges ; Regional economics ; Technology - Economic aspects ; Research
