Economic development planners must implement efficient strategies to promote communities' economic growth. The state development capacity is the most important element of economic growth, firm-specific incentives have unintended consequences and economic growth strategies have created a new incentive paradigm. Economic incentives seem to be more effective than firm-specific incentives in encouraging local economic growth.
