The Relationships between Socioeconomic Programs and the Department of the Air Force Budget: Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act -- The Economic Development and Public Finance Aspects of a Public Policy Program.
Abstract
The overall objective of this dissertation is to measure the economic impact of the Section 8 (a) socio-economic program. The author develops a methodology to measure the economic impact of the program and then applies the methodology. The data base used was limited to Air Force contract data. In addition to measuring the economic impact of the Section 8 (a) program, the author also develops a cost model and measures the cost to the Air Force of administering the program. This research represents a good first step toward developing a general methodology to measure the impact of socio-economic programs. It also addresses the problem of measuring the costs of administering these type programs and thus establishes a means of determining the effectiveness of a socio- economic program. The study also includes an exhaustive bibliography of the socio-economic area of study. (Author)
