Are state R&D tax credits constitutional? an economic perspective

Daniel Wilson

FRBSF Economic Letter, 2005, issue jun3

Abstract: This Economic Letter discusses how the unique economic nature of R&D may bear on the question of the constitutionality of state R&D tax credits. In particular, I discuss the conditions laid out by the U.S. Supreme Court for determining the constitutionality of a state tax credit and how economic research can play a critical role in assessing whether these conditions are met.
