Abstract
State governments often use their tax system to partner with the private sector on economic development initiatives. A key part of their economic development strategy, states use tax incentives as one tool of economic development to compete with other states and globally for investment, jobs, and income. This brief is part of a State and Local Finance Initiative project on state economic development strategies.
