Economic Development And Administrative Power Theory: A Comparative Analysis Of State Development Agencies

Author

Abstract

The ability of state leaders to influence economic growth and diversity within their states is a disputed issue within the literature on state economic development policy‐making. This research contributes to this debate by developing comparative measures of state development agency power drawn from the emerging theory on organizational power. If state policy leaders have independent control over the economic performance of their states and if that influence is exercised through the administrative unit responsible for that activity, states which have supplied their agencies more resources and freedom in using those resources should outperform those states which have not.
