Críticas

Previous studies have examined either the impact of economic development incentives or the changing manufacturing base of urbanized regions. One of the many contributions this book makes is to unpack the connection between the two: did policy play a role in stemming or hastening manufacturing decline in Michigan? Policy makers will not be happy with their findings, which is all the more reason why Reese and Sands' book should be required reading for public officials with authority over public expenditures and tax abatements. -- Rachel Weber, University of Illinois at Chicago

Reseña del editor

Although widely utilized, industrial property tax abatements have a dubious record of accomplishments. In addition to failing to deliver promised jobs and investments, tax abatements appear to contribute to urban sprawl, impose substantial cost burdens on older municipalities and have limited positive effects on community economic health, This book uses Michigan's Industrial Facilities Tax abatement program to develop policy recommendations to make the use of these incentives more efficient and equitable.
