Role of Analysis in Economic Development: Lessons from Minnesota's Iron Range

Margaret E. Dewar

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1986, vol. 02, issue 3

Abstract: States may not be getting their money's worth from development programs formulated without benefit of economic analysis. Minnesota's programs for its Iron Range, located in the northeastern part of the State, illustrate how analysis can get sacrificed in political tug-of-wars. The resulting programs may overlook projects with a good chance of success or encourage projects that will not achieve economic development goals.
