DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe American infrastructure is growing increasingly old and obsolete, putting Americans at a disadvantage in the ever more competitive global economy. This study analyzed regional economic development in the state of Texas over the most recent sixteen-year period, 1990 to 2006. Often times, regional industry growth simply mirrors national trends but, at other times, regional growth is affected by local and industry factors that may overwhelm national trends. This study determined that there is a significant linear relationship between the dependent variable, local to national growth share, and the chosen set of explanatory variables which were: the percent of the population with a bachelor's degree, general expenditure per capita, education expenditure per capita, and general revenue per capita. The findings of this study indicated that certain kinds of public expenditures can have a positive impact on local economic development. However, the results need to be generalized beyond Texas. Much more work needs to be done to find more effective measures for the sources of comparative advantage that certain regions enjoy. This study supports, if only indirectly, that infrastructure spending is an important aspect of regional economic development. While the statistical results pertain to local areas in Texas only, the inferences drawn from this study are likely to apply to the nation as a whole.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTexas' economic growth has consistently outpaced that of the United States as a whole over the past quarter century. What accounts for the state's economic success? And does it come at a price to be paid in the future? Ten-Gallon Economy features new research on regional economic growth and some surprising findings on Texas' unique tax and banking institutions, booming energy and export sectors, vibrant labor market, expanding demographics and human capital, and growing border economy. Texas has a dynamic economy, large yet flexible, but it is still subject to the booms and busts of the energy sector, which exercises an outsized influence. Taxes are low but regressive relative to national benchmarks, which fuels growth but can inhibit investment in education and health. Meanwhile, Texas, as one of only five minority-majority states, is poised to reap a big demographic dividend if it invests wisely in the coming generation of mostly Latino workers. Taken together, the chapters in this volume provide unique insight into the economy of the nation's second-largest state, laying out some of the choices facing policymakers charged with safeguarding the Texas growth premium for future generations.
