In this dissertation, I investigated the economic impacts of heritage areas. Designating heritage areas is a widely adopted heritage-led development strategy with a four-decade history in the US. However, the topic of heritage-area economic impacts has not received considerable academic attention. Most existing economic studies on the subject are technical reports skewed toward visitor and tourism impacts. Recent heritage literature, however, suggests that cultural-heritage activities can stimulate wide-ranging impacts that extend beyond the visitor-and-tourism economy. In my research, I adopted this perspective, proposed a broader range for the Heritage Area Economy (HAE) industry list, and further analyzed the heritage-area activities' impacts on the HAE employment development using Pennsylvania's heritage areas as examples.To determine the scope of Heritage Area Economy (HAE), I assessed existing studies on heritage-area economic impacts and heritage-literature findings. From this, I proposed an expanded version of the HAE industry list that crossed four subsectors: culture and art; travel and tourism; outdoor recreation; and other. Further, I applied two statistical models to analyze how employment in these proposed industries was associated with heritage-area activities-designation and investment. I used a difference-in-differences (DiD) model to evaluate the impact of the designations on the proportion of HAE employment growth; and utilized the Granger causality test to analyze whether the prior program investment could be linked to the increasing of HAE employment proportion in the future.The results from the DiD model confirmed that employment development in the HAE in counties with heritage-area designations can be expected to significantly increase statistically after designation. The Granger causality test results confirmed that the amount of prior years? HAE program investments can be associated with the following years? HAE employment development, and the impacts can last for up to four years after the year of investment. Thus, the study validates the effectiveness of heritage-area activities particularly in Rust Belt states, demonstrating their broader impact on various industries regarding employment development.
