Abstract

Emerging US place-based policies aim to maintain US competitiveness and address widening regional inequalities simultaneously. However, scholarly debates question whether such logics can be reconciled within place-based policy agendas. This article identifies 33 place-based policies in recent US legislation and categorises each across a novel four-part policy taxonomy. Using multimethod qualitative analysis the study classifies programmes by primary strategic intent (growth or equity) and by primary scale of focus (regional or national). It contributes to regional policy debates by describing emerging US place-based policy designs in detail, and by estimating implications of the US’s place-based policy resurgence for long-run regional inequalities.
