Definitions of Economic GrowthCommon sense
definition:Economic growth is concerned with wealth
enhancement, that is, increases in financial value (or
loss).Classical definitionEconomic growth is the increase in the
value of goods and services produced by an economy. It is
conventionally measured as the percent rate of increase in real
gross domestic product, or GDP.

7. *
A couple of perspectives on real GDP growth:
Notes: See the effect of the Great Recession; see how China
and India are the largest contributors to economic growth but
the US is also a major contributor
*
Economic Growth & Quality of LifeEconomic growth is a very
important factor related to quality of life in society, but it is not
the sole important factor.Other important factors include:
Democratic equalityEquality under the law Equal opportunity
(e.g., for education, employment, etc.)The environment Quality
of public spaces, and so on
*
Economic DevelopmentEconomic development refers to the
concerted efforts of government, business, and communities to

8. promote economic growth, but also the overall economic and
social well-being of people in a specific area.
*
Question
As defined by the text, economic growth and economic
development define two separate aspects of well being;
economic growth refers solely to the financial aspects of social
well being and economic development refers solely to the non-
financial elements of social well being.
True
False
Government policies and actions related to economic
development: three areasOverall policy framework to enhance
market stability and sustainable growth (e.g., tax
policies)Economic policies and practices to enhance
employment, increase the tax base, and improve people’s level
of living (e.g., business retention practices)Programs and
projects that provide critical infrastructure and services (e.g.,
affordable housing programs)
*
Theories of growth and economic developmentClassic growth

9. theory: Smith’s three factors—land, labor, and capital;
underlying notion that capital will move to where land and labor
are cheaper in a dynamic economic environmentNeoclassical
economic theory: It is critical to reduce all barriers to the free
flow of capital and a moderate or small government in terms of
services is preferred
QuestionA typical example of classical economic principles is
when low-end manufacturing or services not reliant on location
shift from one country to another based on labor costs.
True
False
Location theoryIn contrast to classic and neoclassic growth
theory (which focuses on the proper running of the overall
economic system), location theory seeks to explain growth in
terms of ALL the factors that contribute to it from a
LOCATIONAL (or bottom-up) perspective.Examples of factors
that affect local economic growth:Costs of transportation—
distance from suppliers and markets where applicableStorage
costsInfrastructure qualityCost and quality of workforcePublic
safety
Question
Location theory seeks to explain why some companies and some
industries stay in or move to areas where both land and labor
are expensive.
True
False

10. Variants of location theoryEconomic base theory: emphasizes
the need to export goods for economic growth (neo-
mercantilism)Growth pole theory: asserts that in many cases, a
core industry is much more important than the cheapness of one
or more classic factors (i.e., land and labor) Central place
theory: focuses on the importance of urban centers that serve
local industries

How Does Government Pay for Economic Development?
*
*

11. Financing MethodsTax reduction (aka tax break):AbatementA
partial reduction of the property tax liability of a given piece of
real estate for a specified number of yearsFor new or
rehabilitated industrial or commercial property, or blighted
propertyExemptionFreedom from the obligation to pay a
particular taxFor purchases, investments, and activities other
than real estate development, e.g., raw materials, machinery,
equipmentCreditA reduction in the tax billFor job creation or
research and development expenses

12. *
Example
Company X moved to the city of New Wales. The company was
sought after as a high tech firm and thus got a three years tax
abatement of approximately 50% on their local property taxes.
Upon moving to New Wales, they purchased almost all new
equipment. Nearly all of the large items were eligible for a tax
exemption. Because the company was located in a poor area of
New Wales that was in an enterprise zone, it was also eligible
for tax credits for each of the 10 positions it created on its state
corporate income tax.
QuestionWhen you do not have to pay as much tax because of
the equipment you have purchased, it is called a tax
credit.TrueFalse
*
Financing MethodsPublic borrowing (based on future
income)IRB (industrial revenue bond aka private activity
bonds): issued by state and local government
public authorities. IRBs are at favorable rates because of the
federal tax exemption they usually enjoy. Some IRBs provide
property tax exemptions.
*

13. *
Financing MethodsPublic borrowing (based on future
income)TIF (tax increment financing): using municipal bonds
based on the expected increase in property taxes that are
collected by an economic development agency. Not available in
CA any more!US Small Business Administration (guarantees
loans), e.g., the 7(a) loan guarantee program California
Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (e.g., loan
guarantees and nonprofit revenue bonds 501(c)(3) bonds)Note:
many government loan guarantees are administered through
commercial banks
*
QuestionIn terms of borrowing, Tax Increment Financing (TIFs)
are more important than IRBs (industrial revenue
bonds)TrueFalse
*
Financing MethodsSpecial taxes (earmarked for development),
e.g., Hotel tax (Hotel or Transient Occupancy Tax), Sin tax (not
in CA), Special sales tax
*

14. *
Financing MethodsGeneral fund (other than tax breaks which
are reductions from the general fund)especially as the ultimate
guarantor of investmentse.g., getting better rates through
municipal bonds, less riskproviding insurance programs e.g.,
flood insurance in coastal areasimprovements/services that
promote development e.g., new roads and other infrastructure,
special programs to assist business such as training and
education, etc.seed money (one-time grants)e.g., development
revolving funds, loan of property for charitable purpose
*
*
Financing MethodsPublic-private partnerships (joint ownership
which enables larger projects, public land assembly powers,
and/or public backing) public pays part of the expenses for its
portion of large projects through a variety of the above
mechanisms
*
Example of a long-term public-private partnership: Veterans’
Hospitals and Medical Schools
Almost all medical schools are co-located with veterans’
hospitals. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs gets excellent
lead doctors, and a reserve of inexpensive residents (doctors in

15. training). Universities get substantial funding for teaching
hospitals and can compete for very expensive research
physicians by dual source funding.
*
*
Financing MethodsFederal sources (programs funded by federal
taxpayers), e.g., Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Community Development Financial Institution Technology
Innovation Program (TIP) Manufacturing Extension Partnership
(MEP)Compassion Capital Fund (CCF)Job Opportunities for
Low –Income Individuals (JOLI)
*
Non-financial Methods
for Supporting
Economic Development
*

16. PlanningThe management process of thinking about and
organizing the resources and activities in order to achieve a
desired outcome.involve the critical stakeholders of the local
community to establish the vision for development, engage in
public discussions, reach consensus on goals to be achieved as
well as plans in general.
*
PlanningFor example:A city of Los Angeles Consolidated
Community Planning meeting
The city of Pasadena (link to the city’s strategic planning
document)
*
ZoningThe system of land-use regulation, which involves the
practice of designating permitted use of land based on mapped
zones separating one set of land uses from another. Zoning
regulations: e.g., acceptable activities, densities, building
height, parking, etc.Zoning for industrial or commercial
useZoning variance

17. *
Zoning

MarketingGovernment promoting their jurisdictions as prime
locations for businessWebsitesSpecial events (e.g., Los Angeles
County Fair, Riverside County Fair, San Bernardino County
Fair)Corporate executive visitsTrade shows (e.g., Expo
2015)National advertisementsLetters to companies“junkets”
*
QuestionZoning is an important part of economic development
because it seeks to maximize land use while protecting land use
patterns. TrueFalse
Ombudsman ServiceService that assists firms to navigate the
various government regulations, programs, and
servicesResolving problems and complaintsInvestigating
commercial opportunitiesHelping to identify and evaluate

18. optionsRecommending changes in policies or procedures
*
Eminent DomainThe inherent power of government to seize a
private property and the individual’s right to due monetary
compensation.

QuestionIn eminent domain cases, the primary consideration,
and sometimes the only one actually considered, is fair
compensation. However, in rare cases other factors can be
considered such as historical, cultural, or environmental
concerns.True False
