A recently released report from the Upjohn Institute “addresses the gap” in data and knowledge of state and local economic development incentives “by outlining a new database with better information on state and local business taxes and economic development incentives,” according to the report’s overview. The new database “is distinguished by its breadth, covering more states, industries, and years,” allowing incentives “to be subjected to more in-depth descriptive analyses.” This greater depth of information will support more informed estimates of incentives’ effects.
