  Thomas Boston, CEO of economic and statistical research firm EuQuant, and a member of the BE Board of Economists, says that because this ceiling hasn't been adjusted for inflation since 1988, its real inflation-adjusted value is $558,070.
  
  "A business owner's personal net worth determines his or her ability to pursue external capital and bonding, which in turn determines the size and capacity of contracts their business is able to perform," Boston testified.A case study of 17 firms that were forced out of the SDB program once they hit the personal wealth ceiling found that their average revenue decreased by 45% because of their inability to access bonding and external sources of capital to compete as prime contractors.
  
  "Were it not for the fact that the growth of SDBs is being constrained by the personal net ceiling, some of these companies would be prime candidates for venture capital funding.They have the precise profile that [venture capital] funds require," Boston said.

  Two of Chicago's newest housing leaders, Lewis Jordan , CEO of CHA, and Ellen Sahli , commissioner of the Chicago Dept. of Housing, opened the forum, which featured a panel discussion with a national researcher, Dr. Thomas Boston , professor of Economics, Georgia Tech University; and local practitioners, Charles Hillman , assistant director of asset management, CHA; and Mary Wiggins , chair of the Residents' Central Advisory Council (CAC), and a member of the CHA Board of Commissioners.
  ...
  Dr. Boston shared insights based on his four-year research of outcomes for Atlanta Housing Authority (AHA) residents.Using data for every AHA household over the past 10 years, his research tracked indicators such as employment status, income, education, and poverty status over time and linked them to community indicators such as crime rates, poverty levels, and school quality."When families have access to quality housing and neighborhoods, they have drastically different socio-economic outcomes," he said.Dr. Boston is in the initial stage of a similar study of CHA residents, funded by the MacArthur Foundation.
  
  Boston stressed the correlation between neighborhood stability and resident self-sufficiency."Housing assistance alone will not lead to self-sufficiency," he said, and attention must be placed on broader service and community networks.He described other best practices for achieving the goal of self-sufficiency for residents and creating better neighborhoods, such as engaging public and private partners to improve original neighborhoods with necessary policies and to attract new investment.

  One major problem is the personal net worth cap placed on small disadvantaged businesses and 8(a) small businesses, which are owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, said Thomas Boston, a professor of economics at Georgia Tech and CEO of EuQuant, an Atlanta consulting firm.The net worth ceiling of $750,000 for participation in both programs was established in 1998 and has not been adjusted since.
  
  Boston's firm examined 47,000 small businesses -- 40 percent of which were minority-owned -- in a study requested by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and found that business owners bumped up against the personal net worth ceiling before they had a chance to grow their revenues to the levels allowed under the program.If small disadvantaged businesses did not have to operate under the current ceiling, their annual revenue could increase by almost $1 million and they would still meet the criteria for the program, Boston found.
  
  In the short run, he recommended creating new and significantly higher industry-specific ceilings.In the long run, the Small Business Administration should consider replacing the personal net worth cap with more industry specific and business development-related criteria, he told the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Information Policy, Census and National Archives.

  "The cuts in the discount rate are designed to reduce mortgage rates and make credit more readily available to ordinary consumers," says Thomas D. Boston, CEO of EuQuant, an economic and statistical research company in Atlanta, and member of the BE Board of Economists."However, banks have become so conservative, because of the credit crisis, so the new money made available to them through the Federal Reserve actions is not being loaned out at rates the Fed would like to see.The banks are afraid that they will not have enough cash to meet their internal demands and therefore are reluctant to lend."The result: "In general, reductions in the mortgage rate have not had a significant effect on investment or on consumer spending," Boston adds.

  In this first-of-its-kind study, Professor Boston examines the effects of revitalization of public housing (provided through a program known as Hope VI) to determine a positive or negative relative correlation.
  
  In his findings, Boston recaps that there was a positive direct correlation between non-revitalized projects and poor socio-economic conditions when compared with revitalized projects.
