英文文献摘要：
Growth in the meat packing and processing industry in the Midwestern United States has generated a significant amount of debate regarding the costs and benefits of this type of economic development. This research employs 1990-2000 proprietary data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Longitudinal Database (LDB) to investigate the effects of this industry on social and economic outcomes in non-metropolitan counties of twelve Midwestern states. The empirical specification uses a difference-in-differences specification to measure the effect of industry growth on local economic growth, government expenditures, and crime. Propensity score matching is used as a check on possible non-random placement of meat packing and processing plants. Results suggest that as the meat packing industry's share of a country's total employment and wage bill rises, total employment growth increases. However, employment growth in other sectors slows, as does local wage growth. There is some evidence that slower wage growth swamps the employment growth so that aggregate income grows more slowly. We find no evidence that growth in the industry changes the growth rates for crime or government spending.
本研究采用美国劳工统计局纵向数据库(LDB)提供的1990-2000年专有数据，调查该行业对中西部12个州的非大都市县的社会和经济结果的影响。实证规范使用差异中的差异规范来衡量产业增长对当地经济增长、政府支出和犯罪的影响。倾向评分匹配是用来检查可能的非随机放置的肉类包装和加工工厂。结果表明，随着肉类加工业在一个国家总就业和工资账单中所占份额的增加，总就业增长也会增加。然而，其它行业的就业增长放缓，当地工资增长也在放缓。有证据表明，较慢的工资增长速度会淹没就业增长，从而导致总收入增长放缓。我们发现，没有证据表明该行业的增长会改变犯罪率或政府支出的增长率。
