MPR Symposium on The Economic War Among the States
This case study was first used as part of "The Economic War Among the States: A Symposium for National Discussion". Minnesota Public Radio's Civic Journalism Initiative organized the symposium, which took place in Washington, D.C., in May, 1996, and simultaneously mounted a broad effort aimed at providing the public with educational resources about the use of economic development incentives at the state and local level throughout the country.
Through the web site MPR Online, the Civic Journalism Initiative continues to maintain an array of links to background materials assembled in preparation for the symposium as well as records of the event's proceedings. These include:
- Home
- The home page of "The Economic War Among the States: A Symposium for National Discussion".
- Introduction to the Issue
- Offers several papers that cover both economic and legal perspectives on the issue, including an essay published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis in 1995 which introduced the issue to many government and financial leaders.
- Public Radio Broadcasts
- Broadcasts about the issue aired on two nationally-heard public radio programs. Marketplace broadcast a series of three reports the week of April 8, 1996. Talk of the Nation broadcast live during the conference May 22, 1996 with a national call-in program. Broadcast transcripts and audio files of the Marketplace series are available along with links to the Talk of the Nation audio site.
- Conference Overview
- A conference in Washington, D.C. in late May pulled together over 60 national experts from business, labor, government and academia. They identified six major policy questions for national discussion.
