Upjohn Institute Senior Economist Tim Bartik presented highlights of his research on economic development policy today for a forum held by the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research at Michigan State University. The forum focused on Michigan's future economic development and how big a role the government should play.
Bartik's presentation drew from research described in this analysis piece: We need flexibility to address joblessness at both the neighborhood and metro levels.
The forum was titled Economic Development: Michigan's Road to Ruin or Prosperity.
Bartik's presentation slides and presentation text, as prepared, are available to download.
