Despite the popularity of research on TIF, only a few comprehensive reviews of previous studies on TIF policy tool have been conducted. In light of this, the purpose of this paper is to review previous TIF studies relating to the controversy surrounding TIF programs. Specifically, previous studies do not provide clear answers about the efficacy of TIF and, indeed, raise more questions than answers. At the same time, this situation begs the question: why do local governments frequently use economic development policies? This is the most urgent task in the economic development academic area because previous studies have not answered that question in detail. To analyze the effects of competition and the forms of government on the utilization of business incentives at the local government level, this study focuses on two major incentives: tax credit and tax increment financing. The statistical results show that the competition mechanisms operate differently for each of the incentives. More specifically, the council-manager system considerably constrains the overall adoption and extent of use of business incentives. These results could indicate the prevalence of a particular form of government for economic development policies. To determine why local governments often use tax-based incentives, this study focuses on five major tax-based incentives: job creation tax credits, investment tax credits, R&D credits, property tax abatements, and customized job training subsidies. The statistical results indicate that a state government’s prevailing political ideology influences the choice of economic development activities. Accordingly, a more liberal state may be more likely to discourage property tax abatements and customized job-training subsidies and encourage job creation tax credits. Additionally, the competition mechanism does not operate as a trigger for tax-based incentives. This study also finds that state economic conditions are inversely related to the use of incentives. This result could imply the prevalence of political factors in the use of incentives. Clear evidence about the effectiveness of economic development incentives is limited. To bridge this research gap, this study uses the Upjohn Institute Panel Database on Incentives and Taxes (PDIT). Unemployment and employment rates are used to analyze the effectiveness of tax-based incentives. Statistical results indicate that tax incentives have a marginal impact on employment status and limited benefits to states. Only the R&D tax credit statistically significantly increases employment rates. This result supports the interpretation of economic development policies as a zero-sum game KEYWORDS: Tax increment financing, Tax credit, Tax-based incentives, Zero-sum game, Diffusion mechanism Hakyeon Lee (Name of Student) 06/24/2020 Date ESSAYS ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICIES By Hakyeon Lee J.S Butler Co-Director of Dissertation Merl Hackbart Co-Director of Dissertation Rajeev Darolia Director of Graduate Studies 06/24/2020 Date TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................. vi LIST OF FIGURES .......................................................................................................... vii CHAPTER 1.

PoliticIt - 1 PoliticIt In November 2011, students at the Huntsman School noticed that the political discussion surrounding the presidential race was evolving from previous elections, as politics shifted from exclusively mainstream media to include blogs, Facebook, and Twitter. But traditional political polling does not capture real-time activity; it is weeks behind what is actually happening. With backgrounds in Management Information Systems, Finance, and Entrepreneurship, these students utilized their Huntsman School education to create a new website called “Politicit”. Using neural network technology, the site gathers information about political candidates from social networks and mainstream media and uses it to give each candidate an “It” score, indicating how people feel about the candidate in real time. So far, the site predicts the poll results remarkably well long before they are published. In December, Politicit entered the Intel Innovators competition, and placed in the top 5. In the future, the team plans to expand the site to also cover state and local politics.

Company With Huntsman Roots Predicts 91% of Political Races Correctly - 1 Company With Huntsman Roots Predicts 91% of Political Races Correctly By Steve Eaton After traveling by bus for three months to 48 states logging 18,000 miles, contacting more than 3,000 politicians, participating in a drag race with a pig bus and a “slow walk” with a presidential candidate, the leaders of PoliticIt decided to take a break this week. While many of us felt battered, worn, and exhausted by the long presidential campaign, with its gaffes, attack ads, and debates, few have become as immersed in an election cycle as the PoliticIt crew. Four members of the Logan-based, start-up company, which monitors online buzz and predicts political races, traveled the country in a customized mobile home looking for politicians to interview, reporters to interest, and the credibility they will need to take their entrepreneurial efforts to the next level.
