This article investigates why cities use fiscal analyses such as cost–benefit analysis and/or fiscal impact analysis to manage offers of economic development incentives to business. We advance an approach to understanding economic development subsidies and control mechanisms that integrate political bargaining and network theories. Municipal bargaining power, institutional incentives, and organizational networks are hypothesized to influence development subsidy decisions. The results confirm that local governments’ bargaining power and political institutions influence the degree to which cities use fiscal analyses. In addition, public/private organizational networks that bridge public and private sectors by linking quasigovernmental organizations and local governments increase information and credibility thus leading to greater use of fiscal analyses.

SynopsisThe psychological effects of the Gulf War were studied on a group of Israeli civilians particularly at risk, viz. recent immigrants from the former Soviet Union. A quasi-experimental design was used. A sample of immigrants who had already been screened for psychological distress just before the war were reassessed after the war with the same instrument (PERI demoralization questionnaire). Various parameters related to the war period were also assessed. Psychological symptoms during the war were significantly associated with pre-war level of distress and with actual physical harm from the missiles, but not with exposure to danger (proximity of residence to areas hit by missiles). Correlates of behaviour in the face of life-threatening danger during the war (change of residence and help-seeking behaviour) were also identified. Overall the level of post-war psychological distress was not found to be higher than pre-war levels. This was explained by the immigrants' feelings of shared fate, belonging and sense of cohesion, which characterize the general Israeli population during war time.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, the proportion of patients attending tertiary care HIV clinics who are recent immigrants to Canada has increased dramatically.METHODS: Among patients first seen at the Toronto Hospital Immunodeficiency Clinic (Toronto, Ontario) between January 1, 2000 and August 31, 2009, the time to death from the first positive HIV test was compared between individuals who had immigrated to Canada within 10 years of their first visit and individuals who were either Canadian-born or who had immigrated more than 10 years before their first clinic visit. In addition, for the antiretroviral-naive patients in these two groups who initiated combination antiretroviral therapy, the time to and the duration of virologic suppression were compared.RESULTS: In a multivariable proportional hazards (PH) model, recent immigrant status was associated with decreased mortality (HR 0.11, P=0.03) after adjusting for age, CD4 count and the risk factor for men having sex with men. In multivariable PH models, recent female immigrants achieved virologic suppression more quickly (HR 1.51, P=0.02), while male immigrants (HR 1.14, P=0.44) and female nonimmigrants (HR 0.90, P=0.61) had similar times to virologic suppression as male nonimmigrants, respectively, after adjusting for the year of and viral load at combination antiretroviral therapy initiation. When pregnant women were removed from the analysis, there were no significant differences in the rates of virologic rebound according to sex or immigration status.DISCUSSION: Despite the perceived barriers of newcomers to Canada, mortality was lower among recent immigrants and virologic suppression was achieved more quickly in recent female immigrants.
