Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Although Ohio has proven itself to be an important battleground state in early 21st century politics, Ohio�s economy continues to struggle with the transition to an information-based economy. The state�s unemployment rate remains well above national averages. In response to the lagging economy, in the late 1990s, Ohio became one of the first states to issue annual reports detailing government-sponsored job creation business incentives. Under the guidance of the Ohio Department of Development, Ohio has steadily increased its spending on direct cash assistance to business. This increase in direct cash assistance to business was initially deemed necessary to attract new business investment in an increasingly competitive business climate. Recent research on government sponsored business incentives has revealed little, if any, correlation between government-sponsored business incentives and county unemployment rates. Despite this low correlation between employment and state sponsored business assistance, Aepell (2005) discovered that state sponsored cash or near cash assistance has steadily risen on a national level since the early 1970s. An analysis of 366 businesses in Ohio by Gabe and Kraybill (2002) found that state-sponsored incentive programs in the state of Ohio might have actually decreased job growth over a two-year period. Bartik (2005) attributes the dismal performance of Ohio�s business incentive programs to poor strategy and a fundamental lack of accountability. Consequently, statistical analysis by Leroy (2004) indicates that incentives geared towards developing transportation, energy, proximity to suppliers, proximity to customers, and especially access to a highly skilled local workforce are more likely to attract and retain business and impact unemployment than traditional tax abatements and economic incentives. While several studies have addressed the correlation between overall government sponsored business incentives and unemployment rates, little research has specifically focused on a comparative empirical analyses of the three categorical types of government sponsored job creation business incentives. This study will evaluate the impact of government sponsored business incentives on county unemployment rates by grouping several job creation incentives into three main categories based on the means used to spur job growth: comprehensive geographically-centered incentives (Enterprise Zones), retro-active job development incentives (Job Creation Tax Credits) and proactive job development incentives (direct assistance loans and grants).
