How effective are the incentives that states use to lure businesses? We present a rebroadcast of an interview with the Upjohn Institute Economist trying to answer that question.
Tim Bartik says the incentives offered by states will "tip the balance" on a small percentage of business locations decisions. The senior economist at the Upjohn Institute for Employment Research developed a new databaseon how states use incentives to lure business. Bartik spoke with WMUK's Gordon Evans for an interview that originally aired in March.
