Does research by Lynch, Bartik and others suggest Incentives can be cost-effective means of promoting growth and job creation? What do meta-studies find about whether tax cuts spur state and local economic development? Bartik estimates that over the long term, state spending on economic development incentives returns $0.5 on every $1 in state spending/lost revenue. What are better uses of state funds with much higher returns per $1 spent?
