Description of Current Research
Public library use in
New York City
We go beyond the demographic, economic, and cultural characteristics
of library users typically studied in traditional library research
and relate social capital and residential segregation in neighborhoods
to the circulation of 200 public libraries in New York City.
Help supply services in the U.S.
Help supply services has been the fastest growing industry in
the U.S. and other advanced economies. My recent research
found that these services are decentralizing from central cities
to suburbs and neighboring rural areas in the U.S. South.
In current research, this finding is tested in the whole U.S.
and Upper Manhattan and Southwest Bronx are chosen for a case
study to evaluate the impact of this decentralization on the
job opportunity of inner-city urban poor in temporary help services.
Impact of September 11 on the suburbanization of financial
services in Lower Manhattan
This research evaluate the past suburbanization trend of financial
services, the acceleration of the trend after September 11,
and the effectiveness of government programs in keeping financial
services in Lower Manhattan. Existing data such as County
Business Patterns and surveys of financial service firms will
be the primary data sources for the evaluation.
