The Role of Analysis in Economic Development: Lessons from Minnesota's Iron Range.
Dewar, Margaret E.
Rural Development Perspectives, v2 n3 p22-27 Jun 1986
Some states use subsidies, grants, and other public monies to rejuvenate lagging rural economies, but without sound economic analysis to guide these efforts money may go to projects that do not achieve economic development goals. Minnesota's Iron Range programs illustrate what happens when economic analysis is sacrificed in political tugs-of-war. (JHZ)
