Why Texas Grows Faster: The Role of Smaller Government

Chapter 3 in Ten-Gallon Economy, 2015, pp 33-45 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Texas has consistently grown faster than the rest of the nation over the past half-century. While many factors have contributed to this—among them, energy, demography, housing-market conditions, and trade—other states with similar traits have not experienced the same rate of expansion. This article explores the extent to which public policy choices can contribute to economic growth and whether Texas’ growth advantage stems at least in part from smaller government.
