Tax Policy and State Economic Growth : The Long-Run and Short-Run of It
Yamarik, Steven - 2013
This paper uses a pooled mean group (PMG) estimator to evaluate the effects of tax policy on state-level growth. We find that property and sales tax rates have negative effects on long-run income growth, while income tax rates have no impact

The Direct and Indirect (Spillover) Effects of Productive Government Spending on State Economic Growth
Atems, Bebonchu - 2018
Using data on 48 contiguous U.S. states and a spatial econometric approach, this paper examines short- and long-run effects of productive higher education and highway infrastructure spending financed by different revenue sources on state economic growth. Following the Lagrange Multiplier, Wald,...

Threshold effects and regional economic growth e Evidence from West Germany
Funke, Michael; Niebuhr, Annekatrin - 2002
We study an overlapping generations model of human capital accumulation with threshold effects using regional data for West Germany. Our basic goal is to shed light on what makes German regions grow. The paper finds that the relative income distribution appears to be stratifying into a trimodal...

Human Capital and State-Level Economic Growth : What is the Contribution of Schooling?
Yamarik, Steven - 2013
In this paper, we set out to quantify the magnitude of the positive empirical relationship between schooling and regional growth. We apply the growth empirics method of Mankiw et al. (Q. J. Econ. 107:407–438, 1992) to a panel of US states. We improve upon the existing regional growth...
