How States Are Improving Tax Incentives for Jobs and Growth
Tax incentives are one of the primary tools that states use to try to create jobs, attract new businesses, and strengthen their economies. Incentives are also major budget commitments. As a result, policymakers are increasingly demanding high-quality information on the results of tax incentives.
What Factors Influence the Effectiveness of Business Incentives?
Policymakers use economic development incentives such as tax credits and exemptions to encourage companies to locate or expand in their state or community. These incentives boost job prospects and income of residents, communities, and states. Given the high cost of these programs, impacts should be examined regularly to understand costs and benefits of these offerings.
Why It’s Important to Estimate How Incentives Influence Business Decisions
Understanding the extent to which economic development tax incentives change business behavior is crucial to measuring the economic and fiscal impact of programs intended to encourage companies to locate or expand within a state.
