Does research using aggregate data make it easier or harder to create programs that benefit those with relatively less social and economic power?

What will be an ideal response?


ANS: It can be either easier or harder, depending on who will use the data and for what purpose. For example, the comparison between Portland and San Antonio could lead companies to move their factories from one city to the other, which would lead to higher unemployment and a lower tax base in the city that lost them. On the other hand, comparative research can identify a need for such things as low income housing, leading governments to build more.
