Rural Areas Feel Effects of Macroeconomic Policy

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1987, vol. 04, issue 01

Abstract: The rural economy has steadily become more integrated with the national and world economies. Diversification of rural economies, and changes in financial markets and world trade have broken down many of the barriers that insulated rural areas. Monetary and fiscal policy is no exception to this trend. This preliminary analysis suggests that U.S. rural areas in general, and the rural South and Northeast in particular, are now affected slightly more by national monetary and fiscal policies than the Nation's metro areas.
