Three Essays on Regional Economic Development Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Economics, Colorado State University, 2022 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Childhood; Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); Entrepreneurship Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This dissertation explores factors that contribute to regional economic growth. The first two chapters focus on one of the key drivers of regional economic growth: entrepreneurship. In the first two chapters I examine how the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) contributes to entrepreneurship. Chapter 1 focuses on the labor demand side of regional entrepreneurship, finding the introduction of state EITC policies reduces the number of new establishments and the number of establishment expansions relative to counties in states without such a policy. In Chapter 2, at the individual level, I find that increasing the amount of the EITC increases the likelihood that the child of the credit recipient becomes a business owner as an adult. |
