摘要：
A structural model of regional economic growth is estimated using data for; 2243 rural U.S. counties. Five indices designed to capture specific amenity and quality of life characteristics al e constructed using fifty-four separate indicators. Results suggest that amenity characteristics can bz organized into consistent and meaningful empirical measures that move beyond ail hoc: descriptions of amenities. In addition to insights into the influence of local characteristics ranging fl anl tax burdens to income distribution on regional economic growth, results suggest that predictable relationships between amenities quality of life, and local economic performance exist.
