1. What is the state’s aggregate industry and how is it structured?
2. What types and quantities of aggregate materials are produced in Oklahoma?
3. How large is the industry, who are the key participants, and where is it located?
4. What are the direct economic contributions of the industry to the state and to local economies?

abstract = {The purpose of this report is to assist state policymakers and the public in better understanding the current economic policy issues surrounding the U.S. film and TV industry. This will aid in assessing Oklahoma’s potential as a more significant participant in the industry’s future growth.
A key underlying economic development theme addressed throughout the report is whether it is feasible to build a significant film and TV industry in Oklahoma? And if so, is it desirable to do so? It is important for policymakers to understand whether evidence suggests that the competitive environment will allow a far larger film and TV industry to be built in Oklahoma. And, if so, under what conditions.
A growing number of studies examine the economic role of the film and TV industry, as well as the contribution of state-level financial incentives. Existing studies provide considerable evidence on the experiences of other states over the past two decades. However, there is little consensus across the range of research on both the estimated economic outcomes and the proper measures of success to use when evaluating the outcomes. This inconsistency in existing research has created an uncertain foundation for making public policy decisions regarding the industry.
This report provides a critical review of findings in existing research and evaluates and reconciles many of the contradictory results. The objective of the review is to provide a clearer set of expectations for economic outcomes from efforts to expand the film and TV sector in the state. The report further provides original empirical research examining state-level economic effects from both the enactment and removal (or reduction) of film and TV incentives at the state level. The original research attempts to fill in the voids of knowledge left by previous research.
Collectively, these efforts are intended to provide a better foundational view of the economic role of the film and TV sector when forming public policy decisions.},

In assessing the various changes resulting from MAPS, this evaluation pursues three basic underlying tasks:
1. Update the prior evaluation of the original MAPS projects provided in the 2009 report, particularly the contribution of MAPS to change in downtown Oklahoma City;
2. Provide an initial review of the mostly completed MAPS for Kids projects; and
3. Detail MAPS 3 initiatives completed or currently underway and the role these projects are expected to play in shaping future growth in Oklahoma City.
The report documents the activities of the MAPS projects but is more focused on the resulting changes in the demographic, workforce, lifestyle, and economic conditions enjoyed by residents of Oklahoma City. The MAPS projects are viewed as the clear catalyst behind the revitalization underway in downtown Oklahoma City. These public investments in turn triggered significant private development in housing, lodging, retail, office space, and recreational offerings. Each major area of visible change is evaluated throughout the report.
A final, though more informal, task pursued throughout the report is the development of a more integrated view of the three rounds of MAPS projects approved to date. The number and breadth of projects and the length of time over which they have transpired warrants a more comprehensive view of MAPS as a single, ongoing economic development effort that now extends twenty-five years.

The specific objective of the study is to prepare a comprehensive cost-benefit assessment of the system’s career major programs. Career majors are commonly viewed as the flagship program of the CareerTech System because of the large number of students enrolled and the extensive training received by students. The demand for these training programs continues to be driven by the desire of both employers and workers to match job skills over the work life more efficiently than is possible through access to common and higher education alone.
The study examines the cohort of career major completers in fiscal year 2010-2011 (FY11). The study seeks to identify and estimate the range of private and public benefits and costs associated with delivering training to this cohort and then assess the expected net economic contribution to the Oklahoma economy.

Estimates are formed for benefits accruing to students, government, and the broader state economy. As with all forms of formal education, the primary economic benefit generated by career major training is work life income gains realized privately by students. A model of earnings gains is constructed to explain the composition of the expected future income gain for completers. Estimates are similarly formed for the direct costs to deliver the programs, tuition costs for students, forgone wages and economic activity as students undertake training, and spillover costs from taxation to fund these services through the public sector.},

believed to reduce economic growth. Using a regional computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, this study examines the equity and growth aspects of subsidizing formal child care
services for low-income households at the state level. The results suggest that state government subsidization of formal child care services does not necessarily reduce the level of economic
activity, even when accounting for negative growth effects of tax increases required to finance the subsidies. The CGE model also reveals economic impacts on households and industry sectors not
directly affected by the subsidies, impacts that would be omitted from a partial equilibrium microeconometric appraisal.

abstract = {The purpose of this paper is to construct and apply a statistical framework for evaluating child support collection performance in Oklahoma. The performance in Oklahoma is addressed first from a state level perspective through a comparison with the other states. The initial step is to identify a group of peer states to serve as a valid benchmark for Oklahoma performance. The peer group is chosen by identifying those states that present an operating environment with similar economic, socio-demographic, and IV-D program characteristics. Statistical analysis is then used to identify the variables that best explain the ratio of collections to expenditures, as well as to explain the relative collection performance of the states.
Collection performance is next evaluated at the office level in order to provide insight into the relative efficiency of the various offices. The statistical analysis also provides evidence concerning the effectiveness of the different collection approaches used statewide. Multiple measures of collection performance are tested, including adjusted federal composite scores for each office.
Finally, a review of existing studies concerning the role of child support is prepared in Appendix A. The review examines the policy relevance of child support and findings in the literature concerning child support enforcement.
