Similar to many communities throughout the United States, the City of El Paso, Texas utilizes property tax abatements as a means for inducing companies to invest in the local economy. Abatements in El Paso were first introduced in 1988.

This study employs a time series data set to examine whether municipal authorities have achieved the objectives of the abatement program in El Paso.
