State bidding wars

[Ellen Dannin ([EMAIL PROTECTED])]

Is anyone aware of any cost-benefit analyses which have been done as to 
government subsidies given to persuade companies to locate to an area or 
not to relocate from an area?  Some of the subsidies are quite high on a 
per job basis, so that it seems hard to believe the citizens will ever 
receive any reasonable return on the money foregone.
