This book was released on 1970 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study deals with the economic effects of a specific series of actions to reduce, consolidate, or terminate activities at military installations in the United States as announced by the Secretary of Defense on November 18, 1964. Actions to terminate or reduce activities at military installations are being undertaken on a continuing basis by the Secretary of Defense. The reference 1964 Announcement, however, was sweeping and dramatic in its implications. Eighty domestic bases were included and the number of civilian positions affected amounted to over 80,000--about four-fifths to be abolished another fifth to be transferred to other installations. The actions portended by the Announcement included the most sweeping series of closures over covered by a single announcement. Because the actions covered by the 1964 Announcement constitute the kind of comprehensive reduction in activities at military bases which might occur under a disarmament agreement, this information is particularly relevant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid the decline in defense spending following the end of the Cold War, military base closures have prompted some of the most vocal public concerns. Public expectations of the impact often verge on the apocalyptic, and economic forecasts of the local effects seem to bolster such fears. While many studies have been done on the closure and revitalization process, little new work has been done on the immediate economic impacts of base closures since the wave of closures after the Vietnam War. This study examined the experience of the communities surrounding three of the largest bases closed in California since 1988. The bases were selected due to their large presence in the local community and to the fact that the communities were sufficiently isolated geographically that the effects could be expected to be both severe and measurable. The study used a case-study approach to examine the impact on nearby communities of three base closures: George Air Force Base (AFB), located in San Bernardino County, which closed in December 1992; Fort Ord, located in Monterey County, which closed in September 1994; Castle Air Force Base, located in Merced County, which was slated for closure in 1995 and from which 65 percent of its uniformed personnel had been vacated by October 1994. To assess the impact of base closures on local communities, the study used nine measures-two centering on changes in population, four on changes in employment, and three on changes in the housing market. The study investigated how the closures impacted the size of the total population in nearby communities and the size of those communities' school enrollments. It looked at the size of neighboring communities' labor forces, their unemployment rates, their taxable retail sales, and their municipal revenues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quite often, policy changes that are seen as welfare-improving at the national level encounter significant resistance in localities where the policies are implemented. Defense spending cuts and international trade agreements are classic examples. However, there is little systematic evidence on the magnitude of economic costs that fall on adversely affected communities. In this paper, we use a newly constructed dataset to analyze the county-level employment and personal income effects resulting from closures of military bases during 1971 - 1994. Our estimated multipliers are mostly less than one, and considerably smaller than those typically used in economic impact studies. We find that the employment costs are mostly limited to the direct job loss associated with military transfers out of the region, and per-capita income is little affected by closures on average

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This pioneering study by John Lynch can be used as a manual for essential economic development planning by the mayors, Chambers of Commerce, and diverse community groups in areas that are economically dependent on military base operations. The data of this study demonstrate that advance economic development planning is the indispensable requirement for giving the people and the communities around military bases constructive options for the moment when the military establishment no longer requires their work"--Page vii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1988 and 1995, the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission closed down 97 bases and realigned over 350 other bases. A hot button topic in the military field, base-closings is an important issue that affects not only soldiers, but ordinary citizens as well. Due to their massive economic significance for local and regional communities, military bases impact thousands of people, and thus encompass various political interests between local, state, and national levels. This reference work investigates the politics and key political figures involved in base-closing decisions, and considers various reasons why bases have been and continue to be closed down. An overview of the U.S. military base infrastructure as well as primary documents is included to help students understand the BRAC Commission process between 1988-2005. The book also analyzes the closure of overseas bases outside of the BRAC process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission, known as the BRAC Commission, is a venue for the United States to reduce the number of military installations in order to become more efficient while maintaining effectiveness. While national security is at the epicenter of this nonpartisan, independent process, there can be adverse affects to local communities when their military installations are realigned or closed. The economic impact on local communities is a factor when considering which installations are to be closed or realigned. However, the BRAC Commission gives priority to their four military value criteria over the four other criteria, including economic impact on the existing community. Most communities are able to recover from base closings but their progress varies. Using data and reports from the United States Government Accountability Office, this study examines the factors that contribute to increasing civilian jobs in communities that have lost jobs due to major base closings and realignments in 1988, 1991, 1993, and 1995.
