The Impact

The research reported here examines the impact of metropolitan location on the activity choices of a sample of black and white male youths living in large metropolitan areas in the United States in 1980. The results of the analysis confirm that similar youths living in different metropolitan areas will make different activity choices. Furthermore, black male youths are found to be substantially more sensitive to metropolitan context than white male youths. The analysis also suggests that black and white disadvantaged youths respond differently to metropolitan context in terms of the trade-offs between activities. Disadvantaged black male youths are highly unlikely to be employed in all metropolitan areas and tend to trade-off staying in school with idleness, whereas disadvantaged white male youths tend to trade-off employment with idleness, depending on the metropolitan area they live in. This research confirms the importance of incorporating geographic context into our theoretical understanding of male youths' behavior. We must also, however, continue to address the implications of race as it shapes the context-dependent labor-market experiences of male youths.

Operational Assessment

The article presents the results of an operational assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the change in the gross urban product (GUP) in 17 metropolitan areas of Russia with a population of more than 1 million people in 2020. The goal of the authors was to try to answer the most actual questions nowadays (early 2021): how deep was the fall of the largest agglomerations economies in Russia and abroad; did the corona crisis have a more negative impact on the largest metropolitan areas then on the rest of the economy? In order to answer these questions, two main tasks were: 1) to assess GUP in 17 largest metropolitan areas of Russia; 2) to consider foreign estimates of the GUP in 2020. For foreign comparisons, the authors use the first published data on changes in GDP and gross urban/regional product in the United States, Canada and Australia. The assessment of GUP in this work is carried out through the assessment of the component of employee compensation and then the transition to the GUP indicator on the assumption that such a ratio of compensation of employees to GDP in a city equals the average of the said ratios for the 17 metropolitan areas. The assessment showed that the real GDP growth rates in 2020 were negative not in all metropolitan areas, and in most of them economic losses turned out to be less than those of the Russian economy as a whole.

The Impact

Microsimulation-based models, increasingly used in the transportation domain, require richer datasets than traditional models. Precisely enumerated population data being usually unavailable, transportation researchers generate their statistical equivalent through population synthesis. While various synthesizers are proposed to optimize the accuracy of synthetic populations, no insight is given regarding the impact of the geographic resolution on population synthesis quality. In this paper, we synthesize populations for the Census Metropolitan Areas of Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver at various geographic resolutions using the enhanced iterative proportional updating algorithm. We define accuracy (representativeness of the sociodemographic characteristics of the entire population) and precision (representativeness of the real population’s spatial heterogeneity) as metrics of synthetic populations’ quality and measure the impact of the reference resolution on them. Moreover, we assess census targets’ harmonization and double geographic resolution control as means of quality improvement. We find that with a less aggregate reference resolution, the gain in precision is higher than the loss in accuracy. The most disaggregate resolution is thus found to be the best choice. Harmonization proves to further optimize synthetic populations while double control harms their quality. Hence, synthesizing at the Dissemination Area resolution using harmonized census targets is found to yield optimal synthetic populations.

Changing Role

Urban and metropolitan areas face unique challenges in serving the multifaceted needs of their communities, but also have advantages that create some of the world’s greatest universities. Three scholars opened the 2017 CUMU Annual Conference with “Voices from the Field.” Each spoke to the changing role of urban-serving institutions and the place-based advantages CUMU members have in enriching their communities while strengthening the universities’ core commitments. CUMU advisor Barbara A. Holland, Holland Consulting, described the changing role of higher education and highlighted the distinct and powerful advantages urban-based higher education institutions have in shaping the success of the metropolitan areas they collectively serve. Ted Howard, The Democracy Collaborative, encouraged universities to move beyond current place-making initiatives and to adopt The Anchor Mission, distilling lessons from CUMU members who are pioneering new approaches to anchor mission work to have greater impacts on their institutions and communities. Andrew Seligsohn, Campus Compact, reflected on the inter-connected nature of two of higher education’s missions: (a) educating students for democracy; and (b) carrying out their anchor mission, as well as the impact of a civically-engaged student body on creating sustainable change in our communities.

13 Background: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in young adults (YA) is rising. Impact of sociodemographic status on YA with CRC is not well described. Methods: Data obtained from the NCDB were used to examine the impact of sociodemographic status on clinicopathological features and outcomes of YA with CRC. Patients (pts) were categorized based on whether they lived in areas of low or high income and education. Logistic regression and chi-square were used to examine the differences between the groups. Results: In total, 26,768 YA (≤40 yrs) pts diagnosed with CRC between 2004 and 2016 were retrospectively studied. The majority of pts were male (51.6%), and 78.7% were white, 14.6% black, and 6.6% of other races. Of the entire cohort, 32.3% pts resided in the highest income areas (median ≥$68,000), whereas 18.4% were in the lowest ( < $38,000); 23% lived in areas that had the highest high school graduation rate ( > 93%), while 20% lived in areas of the lowest graduation rate ( < 79%); and 32.3% came from metropolitan areas, while 18.4% came from urban areas. Pts in the lowest compared to highest income and education areas were more likely to be black (OR: 6.4, 5.6-7.4), not have private insurance (OR: 6.3, 5.6-7.0), have T3/T4 stage (OR: 1.4, 1.3-1.6), have positive nodes (OR: 1.2, 1.1-1.3), be rehospitalized within 30 days (OR: 1.3, 1.1-1.6), or have a Charlson-Deyo score ≥ 1 (OR: 1.6, 1.4-1.9), and were less likely to have surgery (OR: 0.63, 0.6-0.7). After adjusting for race, insurance status, T/N stage, and Charlson-Deyo comorbidity scores, pts from lowest vs. highest income and education areas had a 24% increased risk of death (HRadj: 1.24, CI 1.1-1.44, p = 0.004), and pts from urban vs. metropolitan areas had a 10% increased risk of death (HRadj = 1.10 (1.01-1.20), P = 0.02). Pts with stage IV disease in the lowest vs. highest income populations had worse mOS (1.72 vs. 2.17 years, p < 0.001). Conclusions: YA with CRC in the lowest income and education population were more likely to have worse OS. Furthermore, regardless of income, pts in metropolitan areas seemed to have a lower risk of death likely due to greater access to care. More efforts are needed to eliminate disparities and achieve health equity.

Military Budget

This paper analyzes the tax burden that will be imposed on U.S. taxpayers as a result of the $1 trillion 341 billion military budget proposed by President Ronald Reagan for fiscal years 1982–1986. Data are provided for states and selected metropolitan areas. The continuing destructive impact of this enormous expenditure-including further inflation, historic highs in interest rates, and the continued impoverishment of the civilian economy and American society as a whole-is stressed.
