Competing for Capital Revisited

Thomas, Kenneth P.

Pages: 1 –17

[Over the course of the 1980s, Japanese and US automakers built six new assembly plants in the United States, each receiving subsidies from the state and local governments that were chosen as the winners of very public auctions. The cost per job rose steadily from $11,000 for Nissan in 1980 to...

Models, Models and More Models

Thomas, Kenneth P.

Pages: 18 –38

[This chapter investigates the main approaches used to analyze competition for investment through investment incentives. We begin with general approaches to assessing the use of incentives, including Prisoners’ Dilemma, models in the Tiebout (1956) tradition, incentives as necessary to generate...

Policy Studies

Thomas, Kenneth P.

Pages: 39 –48

[This chapter will consider general policy studies covering a wide variety of issues, including effectiveness, cost, transparency, monitoring, rent-seeking and the specific concerns of developing countries. Transparency is perhaps the most important issue, because too much of incentive policy is...

Who Provides the Most Investment Incentives: EU vs. US

Thomas, Kenneth P.

Pages: 96 –108

[Competing for Capital concluded that the EU’s state aid policy was largely successful in its goals of controlling subsidies in general, and subsidies likely to go to mobile investment in particular. One then-recent development was the adoption of the Multi-Sectoral Framework, which for the first...

The Spread of Investment Incentives to Developing Countries

Thomas, Kenneth P.

Pages: 109 –130

[In contrast to the long-standing use of investment incentives in developed nations, the use of incentives in developing countries is, for the most part, a more recent phenomenon. Some see this as largely a defensive reaction to their use in the North (Oman, 2000; Mora et al., 2005), while...

Controlling Incentives and Maximizing the Value of Inward Investment

Thomas, Kenneth P.

Pages: 131 –154

[This chapter analyzes the ways that policymakers around the world have tried to control investment incentives and evaluate their success. As discussed earlier, a number of studies, such as that of Head, Ries, and Swenson (1999) and Albornoz and Corcos (2007), offer theoretical justification for...

A Policy Agenda for the Twenty-first Century: Transparency and Beyond

Thomas, Kenneth P.

Pages: 155 –162
