Abstract: While prior studies note that interlocal collaborations sometimes change their member composition, the relationship between membership changes and the community-level performance of interlocal collaborations is unclear. This study attempts to provide evidence by exploring the impact of entrants on the performance of Illinois enterprise zones. We conducted event study analyses to estimate the plausibly causal relationship between entrants and community-level performance. We find that entrants improve the enterprise zones’ reported job creation, but the improvement takes effect over time. We also find that the positive effects are stronger for enterprise zones with fewer participants or located in rural areas
