Abstract

Today, American service personnel are deploying at rates not seen since the Vietnam War. Such deployments and activations have raised concerns about their effect on the local economies-due to the temporary loss of employees in the workforce-but little analysis has been done on the issue. To address this gap in understanding, the authors of this report use econometric models to analyze the impact of activations and deployments on economic conditions, as measured by changes in employment at the county level. The authors conclude that long-term impacts on local economic conditions, in aggregate, will not be significant. For reserve activations, the authors' estimates imply a nearly one-for-one decline in employment with activation in the short run, but by four months following a given activation, employment returns to its pre-activation level. For active-duty deployments, their estimates imply an increase of about one civilian employee for every ten deploying active-duty service members. The authors suggest that future research might focus on the impact of activations on smaller firms and the self-employed, neither of which could be examined specifically with the data used in this report.

Abstract

This technical report explores recent trends in the unemployment of recent veterans as estimated from two nationally representative surveys, the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the American Community Survey (ACS). Analyses of CPS data indicates that veteran youth unemployment increased relative to nonveteran youth unemployment between 2003 and 2005 (and that this relative increase is statistically significant) and that veteran youth unemployment decreased between 2005 and 2006. However, analysis of ACS unemployment data also draws into question whether veteran youth unemployment in fact increased relative to nonveteran youth unemployment between 2003 and 2005. While veteran youth unemployment did increase in the ACS data between 2003 and 2004, it fell between 2004 and 2005, and none of those changes in unemployment rates relative to changes in nonveteran youth unemployment rates is statistically significant.

Abstract

This book analyzes media and public reactions to civilian casualty incidents to determine whether these incidents affect media reporting or public support for military operations. Using case studies of incidents of civilian deaths over the last decade (the 1991 Al Firdos bunker bombing, the 1999 Djakovica convoy and Chinese embassy attacks, the 2002 Afghan wedding party attack, and the 2003 Baghdad marketplace explosion), the study team examined U.
