This paper provides a guide to economic development policies for local government managers. Local economic development policies today include not only tax subsidies for branch plants, but also job training to provide workers to businesses, advice and support services for potential entrepreneurs, and extension services to help businesses modernize and export. To help local government managers, this paper suggests a number of guiding principles, including: local economic development should be pursued cooperatively across the local labor market; economic development programs should consider the quality of jobs created; tax subsidies are expensive per job created; development subsidies are more effective if the subsidy is frontloaded; high unemployment areas should be more aggressive than low unemployment areas in promoting job growth; many economic development services can be cheaply evaluated by business surveys. ; A revised version of this paper appears as "Strategies for Economic Development" in J.R. Aronson and E. Schwartz, eds. 1996. Management Policies in Local government Finance (4th Ed.). Washington, DC: International City/County Management Association, pp. 287-312.

The chief means of econ progress is the improvement of the productive potentialities of human beings. Capital is important & so are markets, but too much of the literature on econ development (ED) has paid them almost exclusive attention. In the US, tangible capital increased by 1.8% annually between 1919 & 1957, whereas income increased in the same period by 3.1% annually. The only explanation for this astonishing increase in productivity is the improvement in the human factor -a result of increased training, educ, & additional capabilities based on health & new knowledge. Primary Sch's & clinics may thus be more important for the development of underdeveloped countries than steel plants. However, if we regard the improvement of human capabilities as a central strategy of ED, we must also take into account the soc & pol'al context in the underdeveloped countries. It is in this connection that soc res can make a major contribution. J. A. Fishman. Adapted from the source document.
