TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of government spending, taxes, and public infrastructure on total employment and disaggregated employment were analyzed for 28 metropolitan areas over a 15-year period.
Abstract: . Data for 28 metropolitan areas over a 15-year period are used to determine the impacts of government spending, taxes, and public infrastructure on total employment and disaggregated employment. After carefully controlling for the government budget constraint we find that taxes are negatively related to total employment and education spending is positively related to total employment. Nevertheless, we find that it is difficult for metropolitan areas to influence the composition of their employment with government tax and expenditure policies. Moreover, at current levels of public infrastructure, marginal changes in infrastructure have no strong effect on employment.

TL;DR: Berrigan's To Dwell in Peace as discussed by the authors is a classic example of religious autobiography and an account of ongoing Christian conversion, and it uncovers the roots of a radical impulse deep within twentieth-century American Catholicism.
Abstract: childhood into a time punctuated by Dickensian moments. The intrepid Berrigan journeys through pain and spiritual growth, the harshness of a restless, demanding father, buffeted by economic uncertainty and unfulfilled personal promise. Throughout his chronicle, colorful characters abound: mystics, martinets, eccentrics, innovators. Berrigan's recollections of Jesuit training include an unnamed novice master, \"at odds with his time and place,\" from whose example Berrigan gleaned that \"serious Christians . . . exist in the world as in a conscientious limbo, out of their element, walking uneasily\" (p. 94), and Pere Charmot, a Jesuit who introduced the young priest to a new understanding of Scripture and to the worker priest movement of France, which was then under fire by the Vatican. The latter portion of the autobiography, more than one half of the volume, covers Berrigan's emergence as an antiwar leader during the Vietnam War. The influence of his younger brother, Philip, and his experiences as a member of the social justice program frame Berrigan's radicalization. Yet throughout the tumultuous sixties, seventies, and eighties, it is clear that his spirituality and activism nurtured each other. Daniel Berrigan raises a rare prophetic voice, urging Christians to live the gospel and to question complacency within the church as rigorously as they challenge the injustices of the secular order. To Dwell in Peace is a classic example of religious autobiography and an account of ongoing Christian conversion. Along with Dorothy Day's Long Loneliness and Thomas Merton's Seven Storey Mountain, it uncovers the roots of a radical impulse deep within twentieth-century American Catholicism. Berrigan's autobiography, full of wit and irony, also explores the sources of turmoil in the Catholic church and presents a thoughtful memoir of the role that committed Christians played in the eclectic antiwar coalition of the 1960s. Most importantly, Berrigan's life illustrates how a prophetic voice might emerge from a conventional church.
