    In 2017, the community development departments at each of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks organized regional meetings with nearly 1,000 leaders who work at the intersection of workforce training, recruiting, and finance. They conferred on the status of and challenges that face the nation's workforce development system. Following these meetings, which were held in locations around the country over several months, the community development team at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia gathered and analyzed the information shared in those meetings, leading to a Report on Workforce Development Needs and Opportunities.

    In 2018, the Federal Reserve's community development departments conducted a second series of regional meetings on topics related to broader themes captured in the 2017 report to gain a deeper understanding of workforce development issues. The topics align with community development research interests. The Fed is producing special topic briefs based on...

    The opportunity zone program, passed as part of the 2017 tax law, empowered city and state officials to nominate census tracts from among the city’s poorest as targets for investment. Investors in those tracts can claim big potential savings on taxes from asset sales.

    Philadelphia Fed Tue 17 Dec 2019 15:48

    Creating appropriate policies to address the rental repair issue requires that we consider not only the reasons for underinvestment in the rental stock but also the potential unintended consequences of different approaches to improving housing quality. For example, is underinvestment the result of a strategic choice by sophisticated property investors attempting to maximize profit or a reflection of the economic realities of the low-cost rental market? Recent work from Evicted author Matthew Desmond and MIT sociologist Nathan Wilmers suggests that property owners in distressed neighborhoods may be able to extract outsized profits from low-income renters relative to investors in middle and upper-income areas. In contrast, prior work from sociologists Philip Garboden and Sandra Newman that examined the low-cost, small-scale (one to four unit) rental stock suggested that the majority of these units were either financially unsalvageable or close to it, in which case landlords may...

    A new discussion paper from the Consumer Finance Institute of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia analyzes the nascent marketplace for income-share agreements in postsecondary education.

    Under such agreements, students agree to pay a certain percentage of their future incomes over a set period of time in exchange for funding of their educational program expenses.

    More than 40 colleges and universities, as well as many alternative providers, currently offer ISAs, wrote the report's co-authors, Dubravka Ritter, a senior research fellow at the institute, and Doug Webber, an associate professor of economics at Temple University.

    "As economists who have dedicated much of our professional careers to studying optimal financial aid systems, we find the complexities, incentives, promises and potential pitfalls associated with ISAs to be fascinating both on a practical and an intellectual level," they wrote.

    The report looks at how ISAs are...
