Does North Carolina's High-Tech Development Program Work?

Luger, Michael I.

This article evaluates recent high-tech economic development programs used in North Carolina in terms of their cost-effectiveness and their likely contribution to higher wages, more jobs, greater employment stability, and regionally balanced development. It concludes that although North Carolina's high-tech economic development strategy often is cited as exemplary, it is not likely to achieve its development goals, mainly because it overemphasizes recruitment of industries. The article recommends a more even approach to economic development that emphasizes programs that are cost-effective and are aimed at existing traditional and emerging new businesses.
