Technical
Efficiency in Oklahoma Schools: A Stochastic Frontier Analysis
Examines the sources of efficiency in elementary and secondary education.
The results indicate that additional instructional and non-instruction

In addition, school district size, teacher education and experience,
and teacher salary affect the technical efficiency of schools.

Child Care Costs in Oklahoma
|
The 2003 Oklahoma Child
Care Market Rate Survey
Survey of the availability and
cost of licensed child care services across the state. The survey results assist
the OKDHS Division of Child Care in recommending subsidy rates that reflect both the Star
Rating attained by a facility and the prevailing market charge for child care services in
the local market. The survey also provides Oklahoma parents seeking licensed
child care services with a source for recent comparative market rates charged to the public for child care.

Do
We Know Economic Development When We See It?
Considerable
ambiguity exists regarding the assessment of regional economic
development.
Alternative measures often produce conflicting conclusions.
Even if economic development progress is defined as improvement
in economic welfare, it is not directly measurable.
Therefore, this paper develops a theoretical framework that
explores the linkages between regional utility and commonly used
economic measures. State trends in these measures are then examined
for the 1990s, and related to the theoretical framework. The exercise reveals
that no single measure should be preferred in assessing economic development,
although it is possible to separate strong performers from weak performers.

Ponca
City Development Authority Economic Development Activities: 1994-2003
The study assesses the overall impact of the economic development
efforts of the Ponca City Development Authority on the Ponca City and
Kay County economies since 1994. The study provides an overview
of the economic development initiative underway in the City since
1994, including a description of each of the economic development
projects undertaken by the Development Authority. The paper further
presents a general accounting of all expenditures and funding sources
and an estimate of the overall economic impact of newly attracted
industry. Finally, a cost-benefit analysis is prepared that
evaluates the realized economic impact of new firms attracted to the
community.

Employment Forecasting
|
An
Evaluation of Alternative Strategies for Integrating Input-Output
Information into Industry Employment Forecasting Equations
Alternative strategies for incorporating input-output information into
industry employment forecasting equations are evaluated. Employment
multipliers of the successful forecasting strategies also are examined
to assess the usefulness of the different strategies for impact
analysis. A primary finding of the study is that a strategy that
imposed restrictions on inter-industry relationships through the use
of input-output linkages in aggregation, produced comparable forecasts
to less restrictive specifications, and proved more useful in impact
analysis.
Final version appears in The Review of Regional Studies 32
(1):133-147.

Economic Impact of Oil and Gas Production and Drilling on the Oklahoma
Economy
This report evaluates the overall economic impact of oil and gas
exploration and production activities on the Oklahoma economy. The
report begins by exploring the historical role of the oil and gas
industry in the state. Next, the current trends in employment,
drilling, and production are examined. Finally, the overall economic
impact of oil and gas drilling and production on the state economy is
estimated, and forecasts of future activity through 2010 are
presented.
The Local Impact of Oil and Gas Production and Drilling in Oklahoma
This report examines the economic impact of Oklahoma’s oil and gas
industry at the county and region levels. The report highlights the
areas of the state where oil and gas activities are concentrated,
examines the current trends in drilling and production, and evaluates

Oklahoma
Regional and County Output Trends: 1980-1999 at ORIGINS
A plethora of economic indicators concerning both the U.S. and
Oklahoma economies are presently available to the public. One
category of economic information that is not as readily available
concerns local output activity. No governmental organization
currently estimates output activity on the county level of a
state. This research effort estimates Oklahoma regional and
county output values for the 1980s and 1990s, and analyzes the various
trends that occurred during that time. at ORIGINS

Oklahoma Labor Force Changes
Oklahoma's natural population growth rate will not provide enough
workers to enable Oklahoma to match employment growth at the national
level. If the state intends to grow at least as fast as the
nation, the workers have to come from somewhere. This article examines the
various
historical sources of labor supply for Oklahoma.
