Rogers, Stephen Ellis, Grant Hayden -- Theories of regional development and implications for the housing market / Elisabeth Springler -- Urban and regional development in the case of New Orleans-- and a tentative public policy comparison between the USA and the EU / Martin Heintel."Comparing economic development in a regional context both in the South of the United States and in the European Union today raises many fascinating questions. How much money in the form of tax credits and subsidies should communities and states invest to attract foreign investors in the U.S.? Should individual states and communities in the U.S. commit public funds in the form of tax money and tax credits etc. to bring foreign businesses to their shores? Is the argument of bringing “jobs” and more employment home the only argument that should count politically? Or might these generous subsidies doled out to foreign businesses from public funds deprive local populations from improving their infrastructure and public education? What if these foreign investors then locate to other shores if their investments are not profitable enough in the short run? Might foreign investors come to the American South because it has never been unionized like the rest of the country? Is the attraction of the non-union South then only a means to get away from the burdens of stricter worker protection and social programs at home in Germany or Austria or elsewhere?"Der Vergleich zwischen der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung im Süden der USA und der EU im regionalen Kontext wirft eine Vielzahl von spannenden Fragen auf. Wie viel Geld sollten Gemeinden und Länder in Form von Förderungen und Steuererleichterungen in die Hand nehmen, um ausländische Investoren in die USA zu ziehen? Sollen die einzelnen amerikanischen Staaten und Gemeinden überhaupt öffentliche Gelder einsetzen, um ausländische Unternehmungen an Land zu ziehen? Genügt das Argument vieler PolitikerInnen, dass damit neue Arbeitsplätze in der Region geschaffen werden, oder ist es nicht vielmehr so, dass diese Mittel dann in anderen Bereichen wie Infrastruktur und Bildung fehlen? Und was geschieht, wenn die Unternehmer ihre Betriebe wieder ins Ausland abziehen, weil sie nicht genug profitieren? Zieht es ausländische Investoren in den Süden der USA, weil es hier im Gegensatz zu den anderen Staaten keine gewerkschaftlichen Organisationen gibt? Und sollen damit lediglich strikter Arbeiterschutz und soziale Unterstützungen, wie sie in Österreich oder Deutschland gang und gäbe sind, umgangen werden?Edited volume series.Regional Economic Development ComparedEconomic developmentEuropean Union countriesCongressesRegional economicsEuropean Union countriesCongressesEconomic developmentSouthern StatesCongressesRegional economicsSouthern StatesCongressesEconomic developmentEuropean Union countriesCongressesRegional economicsEuropean Union countriesCongressesEconomic developmentSouthern StatesCongressesRegional economicsSouthern StatesCongressesBusiness & EconomicsHILCCEconomic HistoryHILCCeconomyEconomic developmentRegional economicsEconomic developmentRegional economicsEconomic developmentRegional economicsEconomic developmentRegional economicsBusiness & EconomicsEconomic History338.94Günter Bischof (dir.)auth1356685Bischof Günter1953-434731Bischof Günter1953-University of New Orleans,NyNyMARNyNyMARUkMaJRUBOOK9910140497703321Regional economic development compared3361429UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
