More About This Textbook

Overview

The field of economic development grew dramatically in the 1990s, from an ad hoc endeavor to a sophisticated undertaking that is practiced by state and local governments and local chambers of commerce. What once had been experimental attempts to attract employers has now evolved into a standard, always-expanding set of tools that many communities apply. The editors of Financing Economic Development in the 21st Century have assembled a book that defines the state of the art for this new era. This book is a comprehensive resource that describes both traditional and alternative mechanisms available for financing economic development. Chapters describe financing tools or programs in detail, provide examples of how they work, and evaluate the utility and effectiveness of the technique for economic development. Each chapter also includes a complete bibliography for further exploration.

The book is a completely new version of the editors' 1990 classic, Financing Economic Development. It still explores in detail the developmental tools of universal appeal, such as Tax Incremental Finance Districts (TIFs), angel and venture capital, and tax abatements. It also explores newer tools that have proven effective, including micro-enterprise lending, stadium financing, brownfield financing, and revolving loan funds. Coverage of rural development finance is also new to this book. With contributions by highly qualified practitioners and academics, this volume is appropriate for professionals as well as for upper division undergraduates and graduate students in urban studies, public administration, and economic development.
