Chapter 3 takes up the story of contemporary Latin American immigration to North Carolina from the 1970s to the present. The chapter seeks to answer such questions as what Latin American migrant and refugee groups are currently moving to North Carolina and why? Where do they come from? What global and local factors precipitate and sustain migration to the state? How has immigration affected state and local economies? How do native North Carolinians play a role in these processes, and how do they perceive immigrants?

History Of Migration

Chapter 2 recalls North Carolina’s four-hundred-year history of migration to the state. Immigrant populations from Europe and Africa provide a background for later Latin American immigration to North Carolina. Importantly, the chapter places North Carolina immigration history in a larger national context. U.S. policies have shaped who has migrated to North Carolina by dictating the inclusion and exclusion of immigrant groups throughout the nation’s history. Political and economic relations between the United States and Mexico have also created extensive migration networks between the two countries and have led to the formation of centuries-old Latino communities in border states that now look to North Carolina for new opportunities. In more recent years, Asian immigrants have settled in the state and represent one of the fastest growing demographic groups.

Changing Role

The article considers the changing role of the state and local governments in the development of local economies in modern conditions. Decentralization caused the decreased role of the state in ensuring the development of local economies. At the same time, the significance of territorial management bodies aimed at improving the level and quality of life in their communities increased. Today, local authorities can render quality services to residents of the territorial community employing innovative approaches to management, planning, and technological support for the development. The financial support for the development of territorial communities takes a special place in the implementation of these ambitious plans. Therefore, a special task for the newly created governing bodies is to increase the level of financial security and well-being of the residents of the territorial community.

<div>In a recent methodological paper, we have shown how a (local) ensemble Kalman filter can be used to learn both the state and the dynamics of a system in an online framework. The surrogate model is fully parametrised (for example, this could be a neural network) and the update is a two-step process: (i) a state update, possibly localised, and (ii) a parameter update consistent with the state update. In this framework, the parameters of the surrogate model are assumed to be global. <br><br>In this presentation, we show how to extend the method to the case where the surrogate model, still fully parametrised, admits both global and local parameters (typically forcing parameters). In this case, localisation can be applied not only to the state update, but also to the local parameters update. This results in a collection of new algorithms, depending on the localisation method (covariance localisation or domain localisation) and on whether localisation is applied to the state update, or to both the state and local parameter update. The algorithms are implemented and tested with success on the 40-variable Lorenz model. Finally, we show a two-dimensional illustration of the method using a multi-layer Lorenz model with radiance-like non-local observations.</div>

Covid-19 has had devasting impacts across society and government worldwide in a span of a few short months. The disruption has been nothing short of catastrophic to the public and private sectors across the country and the responses have run the gamut. This commentary discusses the unique impacts of the global pandemic on public works and transportation at the state and local level through the lens of intergovernmental agreements and public private partnerships in the state of North Carolina. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has realized budget deficits the previous two fiscal years with a significant projected deficit for the current fiscal year; however, NCDOT was not blind to a future of instability. Policy implications are clear: changes must be considered that reduce the likelihood of significant budget shortfalls and reasonable measures taken to provide practicable levels of service throughout public works.

Public Transportation Systems

A research study developed recommendations for activities to consolidate single-county rural public transportation systems into regional multicounty transit systems in North Carolina. The study identified opportunities from regionalization of public transit services, examined barriers to integration and consolidation of transit systems regionally, evaluated best practices from case study sites, and made recommendations for programmatic and legislative changes to facilitate the implementation of regional transit systems in both metropolitan and rural areas of the state. Emphasis is on the rural component of the study, in summarizing regionalization issues and recommendations for the consolidation of rural single-county into multicounty transit systems. Consolidation of rural public transportation systems into regional entities is another step in further coordinating public transportation services in the state. However, there is a public transportation system now operating in all 100 North Carolina counties. Therefore, the thrust of regionalization will be to consolidate existing rural transportation systems into regional entities. There are key programmatic and legislative aspects of interest to state departments of transportation, transportation planners, and policymakers. Case studies also gathered information from associated state department of transportation staff, to include both the state and local perspectives on regional rural transportation systems.

Childcare Policy

For many families across Pennsylvania, child care is an ever-present concern. Since the 1970s, when Richard Nixon vetoed a national childcare program, child care has received little time in the policy spotlight. Instead, funding for child care in the United States now comes from a mixture of federal, state, and local programs that do not help all families. This article explores childcare options available to families in the state of Pennsylvania and highlights gaps in the current system. Specifically, we examine the state of child care available to families in the Commonwealth in terms of quality, accessibility, flexibility, and affordability. We also incorporate survey data from a nonrepresentative sample of registered Pennsylvania voters conducted by the Pennsylvania Center for Women and Politics. As these results support the need for improvements in the current childcare system, we discuss recommendations for the future.

The article deals with the peculiarities of the formation and implementation of tax policy in the country. The analysis of change of tax receipts to the state and local budgets is carried out. The role of tax payments in the economic development of the country is determined. The efficiency of the state tax policy in Ukraine is analyzed, its advantages and disadvantages are determined. The important role of tax payments in stimulating economic and social development is substantiated. The analysis of the elasticity of change of indicators of economic development of the country from the change of volume of tax receipts to the budget is carried out. The necessity of improving the existing policy of establishing, accrual, payment, and distribution of tax revenues as one of the most promising areas to stimulate economic growth is concluded.
